The M114 155 mm howitzer is a towed howitzer developed and used by the United States Army. It was first produced in 1942 as a medium artillery piece under the designation of 155 mm Howitzer M1. It saw service with the US Army during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, before being replaced by the M198 howitzer.
The gun was also used by the armed forces of many nations. In some countries, the M114A1 still remains in service.
The M114 can fire many different types of munitions geared for different purposes. It is capable of firing a round up to 18.6 miles.
This particular one is on display in a local park in Torrington, CT, and was registered to have been made in 1944

"Fortifications, artillery, foreign aid - will be of no value, unless the ordinary soldier knows that it is HE guarding his country"- Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim.
Interesting thing about Finland's participation in WWII is it was the only democratic country to be on the side of the Axis powers. As part of Finland's participation in WWII (Continuation war), the Finns during operations Barbarossa retook and captured areas in the Karelia region.
Wanted to try out a bunker as there were many that were along several defensive lines in Finland and the Karelia region. Credit for the trees goes to Thorsten Bonsch.

Artillery shot to mark the end of the two minute silence at the Remembrance Day service at Lowestoft.
We visited Walmer Castle when we were in Kent back in May. Originally it was an artillery fort constructed by Henry VIII in between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire. Nothing ever came of that but during the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Walmer was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' fighting. The gardens, as you can see, are immaculate.
Artillery Night Peak – This was my first time to Alamo Lake State Park and there were three photos I wanted to get on this trip and one was a star trails photo. While driving in I mentioned to my wife about a unique triangle shaped mountain and how I wanted to use that in one of my photos. Little did I know that this mountain, called Artillery Peak and is a well-known formation and as luck would have it the peak happened to be straight north of where I was camping. This got me thinking I could have some real fun with star trails over the lake and this peak. Knowing that shooting north will make trails make a circular pattern I knew I had the horizon I wanted in my shot. I could have used some techniques to combine multiple shorter images, but I enjoy trying to get my photography done in one image. The downside to taking this shot in one image means I have more noise due to the sensor heating up. I hope you enjoy the photo.
The Technical - Shot on an Nikon D810 paired with a Tamron 15-30.
It was a very still night so I setup my camera on my tripod and shot a few shots with a very high ISO moving and zooming to find the composition I wanted. Once I found the composition I liked I changed my ISO back to 200 to keep it as clean as possible but still enough to capture the dimmer stars. I used an aperture of 2.8 to help capture the stars and a long exposure of 30 minutes to capture the movement of the stars. These settings worked well as there wasn’t a moon out and it is very dark out there.

An older tank sits facing the courtyard, ready to defend Les Invalides from enemies.
I think this tank originated from WWI (1917), judging from the design. Known as the Renault FT-17, it was part of the French army and manned by two men. The turret can fully rotate and its engine is placed in the rear (where it looks bulky).
Due to its build, it was more mobile and lighter than the heavier tanks used in the war.
