Taken at the fortress in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This watch tower overlooks the ocean. Image processed with GIMP. For the Sunday Challenge, this is an attempt to use "rule of thirds" in the cropping.

Taken inside the fortress overlooking San Juan, Puerto Rico. My favorite from 2023.

Our view across the bay of the fortress at Bodrum. Called the Bodrum Castle. Quite impressive. Do look up the history in Wikipedia (for instance). The castle was built using the ruins of the famous Tomb of ancient history. Image processed with GIMP.

Fortress in Malaga, Spain. This is a square crop of one of the shots made during our visit. Image processed with GIMP.

Castillo de Gibralfaro in Malaga, Spain. Looking up from the park below, you can get a feeling for how difficult it would be to attack this fortress. Image processed with GIMP.

Our cruise ship was in the main harbor in Malta. We enjoyed visiting this very interesting area, and the ship was just about to leave, when I noticed that many of the main landmarks were illuminated. (Seems like plenty of shadows to complement the lighted areas, per the Sunday Challenge.) Took several shots, using the high ISO capability of the Nikon D700. Image processed with GIMP.
