Our harbor cruise brought us to George’s Island. It and the rest of the harbor islands are managed by both the state Department of Conservation and Recreation and the National Park Service. The jewel of the island (next to the views) is Fort Warren. It was built in 1850 and defended the harbor through four wars (Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI and WWII). Part of it have been well maintained and can be viewed while others are off-limits due to safety concerns.
These are beautiful, Chris. What a great day you had to photograph the island.
Thank you, Lois. It was a perfect day. Cheers
Wow…how beautiful!!
So creative ….the third image seems like a painting of Van Gogh…so pretty !!
Thanks for sharing Chris !!!!
Thank you. Yes, I like that image also. Cheers
Interesting place.
Most definitely. There may even be ghosts.
If that clown from IT is in the mix….. no way!!!!
I think the only clown on the island was tall with glasses and a camera. 🤡
But he’s nice and not in the least bit clownish 🙂
Awwwww 😊
Great shots! And Fort Warren must be a very interesting place to visit 🙂
Cheers!
