Hi,

For centuries, the San Juan bay entrance was protected by the famous El Morro fortress. But across the bay, there is a small secondary support fort that provided crossfire protection and support. This small fort is known as El Cañuelo and was built in the early 17th century. It only has one sentry tower, shown here in a B/W conversion.
Hope you like it.

Beautiful. Nicely composed. I really like the way the B&W captures the texture of the surface. I can almost feel it!

Ditto the texture, I love old architecture and this is a lovely example.

A great view into the past, and the excellent B&W conversion gives the image a brooding look. Very nice job.
