A play on words:):) Certainly a story here so this will go into the contest as my current entry:) Found this along Marsh Creek Rd. on the flanks of Mt. Diablo near Walnut Creek. A lot of shadows from the broken canopy overhead attributed to the light/dark areas here but could not be avoided. A bit of HDR from 3 exposures and with a bit of wind blowing the trees/leaves around some slight blurring did occur in the trees/leaves :) Thanks for your comments.

Good one, Bruce. Sure is an old thing. I would have known it was a howitzer. The leave blur makes a kind of framing for it. Good luck.

This will go a lot easier if you back away from that gun, sir...This looks suspiciously like a concealed weapon charge...If I give you a good review do you promise not to shoot me out of the mouth of this cannon?

A nice capture, Bruce. I like the dappled light and shadows in the scene. Nice details and colours in the photo. Best of luck in the contest.
