Dumbarton Rock and Autumn Leaves

Dumbarton Rock and Autumn Leaves
This ancient fortress had a final military role to play during the Second World War, when an anti-aircraft battery was installed on Dumbarton Rock. Four high-explosive bombs landed on the Rock in May of 1941. There was some damage to its structures (for example, the Magazine was hit, although, fortunately, it had long ceased to be used for its original purpose), but there were no casualties. No traces of the gun emplacements are visible. Quoted from the Geograph website

Hi John.
What an impressive view and capture image !
:I love the contrast between the vivid ocher and golden tones in the foreground and the bright blue of the water rippled by light waves that in depth leads up to the Rock.
Thank you for the very interesting information, too.
Have a nice Sunday.
