The Fog Cannon
Taken at Wick Harbour which seemed to be the busiest part of Wick.
The cannon in this shot (pun intended!!) was actually a fog signal gun and was given to the Pulteney Harbour Trust by John Pender MP in 1881 for use by fishermen and visiting crafts and was in use until it was replaced by a fog horn warning system.
In 2011 the decision was made to re-site the cannon at Wick Harbour, as it was felt it was mostly going unnoticed and featuring it on the harbourside at Wick would add historical interest to the area for visitors.
I have added a song called 'Cannonball' by Damien Rice

Ecobird club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo clubIf you like!! It needs a bit of fog for the full effect. No lights and the music isn't up to much, - just Boom, Boom.. but here is something to help with the atmosphere

Very pretty the colorful petunias in the foreground
Have a good week, Carol
HBM, Carol!
At the sight of the cannon, I get an unpleasant feeling, even if it was/is just a fog signal gun.
So, I prefer to focus on the wonderful foreground and background. :)
Anyway, wish you a great week, and stay well!
Sorry for the very late HBM! I don't know how I missed this shot ;-)
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition to include the flowers...
I do wonder, if the cannon is on wheels, would anyone turn it round to take pot shots at whatever they fancy!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter
Have a lovely weekend, Carol.
Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
Different eras and different feelings: yesterday and today, war and peace .... I would always like to see harmless weapons like this!
All the best
