Looking towards the Port Elizabeth Harbour from on top of Fort Frederick on a foggy day like this makes one wonder how nervous a lookout stationed here would have been when there was fog over the sea. The harbour is barely visible, so on a foggy day it would have been quite easy invading the bay without today's modern equipment that could have warned of an invasion. Luckily the fort never had to fire a shot in anger.
Is that like talking a shot in the dark? Wow, the bay seems too far away for the canon to reach.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was the sight of the tower and it's cannons that made the possible invaders think again. Nice foggy photo.
ReplyDeleteFor a moment I thought that you - or your son - had fired a shot. Glad to see its fog and not smoke!
ReplyDeleteA very cool photo. It does make one wonder what people did when the fog came in and no one could see the enemy
