All
The Mine wharf from the shores
The Battery East hill site
Fort Point by the Golden Gate
Heading up along Marine Drive
Towards Fort Point
The Fort Point National Historic Site
completed just before the American Civil War
to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships
The bridge superstructure over the fort
let head in!
entrance to the fort
the fort plans
lots of weapons here
my weapon of choice!
Fort Point's main courtyard
History of the city
and the role of the fort in defence
cannon balls and high caliber rounds
The ACME gunpowder store
Mmm seems something exploded here
Soldiers of the past
The corridors in the fort
The fort spans 3 floors
and sits directly under the golden gate
More cannons!
Big Bridge over Big Fort!
The golden gate pedestrian walkway above
View of the fort from the upper floors
Flying high!
been 15 years since I was last here
it feels good to be back!
The bay area from the vantage point
now for views under the bridge
not an everyday sight!
The pacific beyond the south bay
spick and span
The fort point light house
It entered the national Register of Historic Places in 1970
and now is non-operational
The Mile Rock Lighthouse now serves the outer bay area
next up over the bridge!
The city skyline
and marine drive serving the fort
heading back down
view from the middle levels
The precarious rock faces under the bridge
back up Marina Drive!
the strong crashing waves by the bay
up the Battery East site hill
the wharf up the hill
