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.

Here's a scene from a Colonial era reenactment, photographed this summer in Frankenmuth, Michigan. I am not sure who these reenactors are playing, but their uniforms were the the same bright blue color that you see here.

Cannon Beach is a city in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. Its population was 1,690 at the 2010 census. It is a popular coastal Oregon tourist destination, famous for Haystack Rock, a 235 ft (72 m) sea stack that juts out along the coast.[5] In 2013, National Geographic listed it as "one of the world’s 100 most beautiful places."

View of Cannon Beach looking south from Ecola State Park. This view might look familiar since it was one of the shooting locations for the Goonies.
Bravo Lightroom for improving the output shape of a panorama image!! I merged 6 shots here expecting to see a distorted image that I would need to stretch and straighten in PS but this is what came out! Hurray LR, you just made my day!!! AND these were handheld so everything was aligned by LR just perfectly!
Nowadays, these ancient cannons would not hurt a fly.
They remind us that previously, during the Spanish colonization, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea were infested with pirates who did not hesitate to plunder the coastal cities.

Les deux canons
De nos jours, ces canons anciens ne feraient pas de mal à une mouche.
Ils nous rapellent qu'autrefois, du temps de la colonisation espagnole, le Golfe du Mexique et la Mer des Caraïbes étaient infesté de pirates qui n'hésitaient pas à piller les villes côtières.

Looking back into some of my archives...only to find one of my favorite places; the rugged coastline of Oregon at Cannon Beach. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
This was a very tricky image to exposure correctly, as the ambient light was rapidly disappearing, whilst the bright light from the Ship Inn was becoming increasingly intense. I think that the wonders of better camera sensors and post-processing enabled me to make an image that would have been impossible 20 years ago
Cannons next to the 1st New York Light Artillery, Battery ,(Reynolds Battery) Monument, Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
Dopo le grandi nevicate di dicembre il caldo e la pioggia hanno parzialmente rovinato le piste di sci. Per fortuna pacifici cannoni ci provano a ripristinare la situazione.
