Super. Nothing like the day after a storm.

I guess windmills go into a landscape thread…

Interesting read. There are 3 similar forts that had those disappearing guns at one time built in the same period in the Puget Sound region north of Seattle. My shots of it are in 120 format though.

This is Battery Boutelle and not Battery Cranston as originally titled. For an historical background and photo of this emplacement see: http://www.nps.gov/prsf/historycultu...y-boutelle.htm

"NOTHING GROWS HERE

These hills are inhospitable to plants. The surface clay particles absorb rain water so well they saturate and seal so moisture cannot penetrate, and hold water so tightly most plants cannot draw it out. Beneath the surface the clay is of hardpan, which is impenetrable to plant roots. Also, the loose surface provides a poor foothold for roots, making it easy for plants to wash away in heavy rains.

All this, combined with poor nutrient conditions and hot, dry summers, keep the Painted Hills barren, much to our visual and photographic delight."

Nice picture Thomas, and thanks for the link. When I lived in the Bay Area I used to love exploring the installations around there. I'm sure you've already been, but if not, Angel Island is a good adventure as well.

Nice exposure and atmosphere. This "almost" makes me want to shoot chromes :)
