Another shot from Newcastle. We were walking back from Nobby's lighthouse when I decided to take a photo of the fort which is on top of the hill. If you look closely you can just about see one of the guns.
It was at Fort Scratchley where we went to the Music of the Guns a few weeks ago. The performance ended with the Army Band playing the 1812 overture and the firing of the guns.
@maree_sanderson@pcoulson Yes the 1812 was fabulous with the guns firing and also they put the searchlight on the cathedral which is just to the right of the fort and the bells from the cathedral can be heard in the mix too.
@craftymeg Thanks Margaret, the only thing is, it is the middle of autumn in this shot, not summer. Still good weather though, will get colder soon I should imagine. About 32 degrees c this day I believe.
@888rachel It is interesting down this way and I am glad that we were posted to Williamtown when David was in the RAAF otherwise I may never have found this area at all.
