Yesterday, I wrote about taking the ferry out to George’s Island and visiting Fort Warren. We were able to enter certain parts of the fort that were deemed safe. These included rooms where cannons had been kept, the bakery, and the quarters for prisoners who were Confederate officers or political in nature. During the Civil War, the fort served as a prison for people who tried to evade the draft in the north and for Confederate soldiers from the south. For a period of time, the Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephens, was held here. This is a collection of rooms. I chose them more for their aesthetic rather than historic value. There are two images of the powder magazine because I could not decide if I liked color or BW better.
Both look great. Each with its own merits as a photo. Well done!☺
Thank you Garfield. Have an awesome and amazing day.
I love them all!
Oh, thank you so much. We are taking the ferry to a different island today. Stay tuned!
This is very cool! I once went to something like this but in the UK. It’s amazing being able to go inside and actually see the internal structures for yourself (and above all get to photograph it). I love all the photos that you took. Glad you had a nice day 🙂
wow you know the way to this girl’s heart.. beautifully done! so textured, so real….
Thank you, so much. With all he years and the weathering, this fort is loaded with texture. Cheers
Very ghostly!
Thank you…I wonder if there are ghosts.
When I visit places like that, I have to stand there and imagine those people also standing there – so many years ago!! It make history come alive for me.
You know, I do the same. I ask myself what was it lie? The sounds? The smells?
Exactly!!
I really like the photo of the hearth. As for the powder magazine–gee, Chris, they are both wonderful photos. I cannot pick a favorite. Excellent shots.
Thank you, Lois. Have a great weekend. Cheers!
Kinda reminds me of a fort we visited in Key West. Cool!
We visited Dry Tortuga also and it is similar. Dry Tortuga is (or was) in better shape.
Never made it out to Dry Tortuga but to the other fort that we rode bicycles to on Key West.
Excellent shots, Chris! Love the BW/Color side by sides.
Thank you so much, Lindy. Cheers
Wow, for the ascetic value. Your photos really do capture the eye and draws us to look into the spaces. I love your composition! – I’m drawn to the color photo.
Thank you so much, Robin. I appreciate it. Cheers!
All great. The arches and doorways really draws you in.
Thank you so much. Cheers!
