a peaceful enough stretch of coast for a stroll, yet evidently a large gun was stationed here during WW2 in order to defend the entrance to Victoria's harbour

Nikon D7000

Looks like faint rays in the sky! A concrete reminder of 'mans inhumanity to man' still going on today, the dogs oblivious to it all! Silvery splendour and great story telling.BV

Relaxing place to walk the dog. Wonderful image with great contrast.

Excellent capture...love the clouds, the sheen on the water, and the rays of sun, and the dog is a bonus!

There a lot of these kinds of giant gun placements in the SF area.

Great composition, David. Radiant light on the water and nice how the figure and dog are walking towards the edge of the frame. V

Peaceful, impressive the silver of the sea, so evocative the woman and her dogs walking. Bravo! V

Great catch with those darks and lights. Of course I love the fact that you caught that little dog following his owner! V
