Cannon Weddings
You've heard of shotgun weddings, right? So what's up with this, though? A wedding chapel and a cannon?!!!
Actually, the cannon and this world-famous wedding chapel at the Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Preserve really don't have anything to do with each other... after all, wouldn't a cannon be overkill (pun intended) for a shotgun wedding? The cannon is kept in working condition and a color guard shoots it at sunset each evening to herald the end to another day while someone plays bagpipes in the mountaintop outlook (which overlooks the chapel). The back of the chapel is largely glass and provides a spectacular view of the rolling hills and beautiful lake. At this time of the year, the sun was setting behind the chapel... which made for some dramatic photos.
