Le fort du Larmont inférieur, appelé brièvement fort Malher, est un fortin militaire construit au xixe siècle entre 1845 et 1851, donc avant la création du système Séré de Rivières. Il a été érigé dans le département du Doubs (région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), sur la commune de La Cluse-et-Mijoux à 1 032 m d'altitude. Il avait pour missions de protéger le fort de Joux, de renforcer la défense du passage de la cluse de Pontarlier, et d'appuyer les actions menées par les troupes sur le sommet du Larmont (Wikipedia).
The Lower Larmont fort, briefly called Fort Malher, is a military fort built in the 19th century between 1845 and 1851, therefore before the creation of the Séré de Rivières1system. It was erected in the Doubs department (Burgundy-Franche-Comté region), in the town of La Cluse-et-Mijoux at an altitude of 1,032 m. Its mission was to protect the fort of Joux, to reinforce the defense of the passage of the cluse de Pontarlier, and to support the actions carried out by the troops on the summit of Larmont (Wikipedia).
While strolling through the long and dark passages, I turn around and I was enchanted by this view. Like I got lost in the dark distance. Due to the horrible things happend there, this felt like magic.
Fort Eben-Emael is an inactive Belgian fortress located between Liège and Maastricht, on the Belgian-Dutch border, outside the village of Ében-Émael. It was designed to defend Belgium from a German attack across the narrow belt of Dutch territory in the region. Constructed in 1931–1935, it was reputed to be impregnable and at the time, the largest in the world. The fort was neutralized by glider-borne German troops (85 men) on 10 May 1940 during the WW2. The action cleared the way for German ground forces to enter Belgium, unhindered by fire from Eben-Emael. Still the property of the Belgian Army, the fort has been preserved.

Vue en surplomb depuis la forêt du plateau de Roue. Ce fort médiéval du XIIème siècle, est communément appelé "Château Queyras". Sous l'Ancien Régime, il était rattaché à la province du Dauphiné et appartenait au dauphin du roi de France. Caractérisé par une enceinte quadrangulaire, il domine la vallée du Guil depuis le sommet de la butte de château-Queyras d'une hauteur de 1400 mètres. Il est inscrit, avec le piton rocheux sur lequel il s'élève, aux monuments et sites naturels des Hautes-Alpes depuis 1937 et son enceinte, au Monuments Historiques depuis 1948. Il fait partie du réseau "Sentinelles des Alpes" crée par l'association" Grande Traversée des Alpes" qui regroupe les fortifications les plus remarquables, notamment les citadelles de Mont-Dauphin et de Briançon. Petite anecdote : il a servi de décor au film "Le Bossu" d'après le roman de Paul Féval, tourné par Philippe de Broca en 1997.
And when, after the rainbow, the rain hits you hard, but also leaves in time so that the most beautiful light during sunset remains.

Fort Amherst is located on the southern side of The Narrow (the entrance to St. John's Harbour). The first lighthouse in this location was built in 1810 and replaced a number of times throughout the years. This little one was build in 1951. Also seen are the remains of gun emplacements and pillboxes built during World War II to defend against U-boats and any uncooperative ships. For those brave enough, apparently you can jump the fence and go down there to explore. Maybe, one of these day days, I'll work up the nerve! ;-)

Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.
