Fort Worden State Park, WA

Fort Worden State Park is located in Port Townsend, Washington. Here is the description from the Park's website: "Fort Worden, along with the heavy batteries of Fort Flagler and Fort Casey, once guarded nautical entrance to Puget Sound. These posts, established in the late 1890s, became the first line of a fortification system designed to prevent a hostile fleet from reaching such targets as the Bremerton Naval Yard and the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett. Construction began in 1897 and continued in one form or another until the fort was closed in 1953. The property was purchased as a state park in 1955. Fort Worden is named after Rear Admiral John L. Worden."

Though I took photos at different parts of the park, the photos that follow were all taken in and around the cement bunker-type platforms above the cliffs, where the defense canons used to be mounted. This particular area was fascinating and gave me ample opportunities to frame old rusty doors, painted walls, graffiti and moss. I would love to stage an entire photo show based on the photos I got at this spot alone. I am rather stoic and not given much to this sort of description, but this place was magical.
