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.

From the cannon position at Vara, Kristiansand. The coastal artillery fortress was named Batterie Vara (MAB 6./502 Vara) by the Germans, when it was built by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. It was named after Major General Felix Vara, who was killed off Alderney in the English channel on 3 November 1941. After the war, the Norwegian Armed Forces named it Møvik Fort.

A doom and gloom morning in Cannon Beach. Overcast Blues.
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.
Well, it’s more accurate to say this was a cannon style bollard.
Some bollards were genuine cannons reused as street furniture, this one - unless someone knows better - is simply cast in the style of a cannon, my best guess at its age would be around the late 19th century.
To be found at St Michael’s Lane, Derby.
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
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
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!
Haystack Rock - one of the most photographed spots in Oregon.
Joy and I had the opportunity to spend 20 days exploring Olympic and Rainier National Parks and the Oregon coast. The road trip covered 4000 miles. Coming from the brown of southern California, the intensity of the GREEN in the temperate rain forests wad almost overwhelming. The weather was tough (it is a RAIN forest!) and the light challenging, but it was a magnificent trip. I hope you enjoy some of the shots

There's a little viewpoint outside the town and I got this picture, looking back at where we'd been.
Cannon Beach, OR
This day started off very sunny with just a few clouds in the sky, and I told my husband I wanted to go watch a sunset at the ocean. I packed a light dinner, ushered an excited dog into the car, and off we went. Of course the closer we got to the ocean the cloudier it got. But, we still made the most of our day letting the dog run around, having a few beers with our meal, and watching the waves crash and hiss on the sandy beach. A typical PNW sort of day haha ;)

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.
Another try at the ocean, this time in OR in the fog as the sun was going down.
I have been photographing hotel rooms, busy, busy!
