Castillo De San Marcos - National Monument - Part 2 of 2

Good morning,

We were at Castillo De San Marcos in St. Augustine, Florida, at a perfect time on a sunny day.  The shadows cast inside the first floor of the fort provided wonderful camera candy!

Plenty of canon were here both on the ground level and high on the walls of the Castillo.

The Castillo is perfectly situated to protect St. Augustine from the sea.

There's that handsome man I know so well, taking pictures also.

 In the courtyard we could see organized tours exploring the first level.

 There was a professional film crew here, too, presumably filming a documentary.

 Back on the upper wall, I walked all the way around this huge complex that was defended from attacks from both land and sea.

 It wasn't long before a group of actors arrived to practice shooting the canon. 

 I moved off to the side to get out of the camera range of all of those taking pictures.  Sadly, that man in the green shirt didn't get the memo.

This was only a practice session of all of the routines involved in shooting the canon.  No shots were actually fired.

What a fantastic visit!  We truly enjoy our US National Parks and Monuments.

All the best,
Lois
