cannon fodder edinburgh, scotland
A trip to Edinburgh would not be complete without a visit to the great castle that overlooks the city. A step back into the middle ages introducers the traveller to a medieval era, full of swords, turrets and cannons. This photo was taken of the famous ‘Mons Meg’ Cannon, a huge beast that is one of the oldest cannons in the world. Back when it was in working order, the gun could ďŹ re a cannonball a whopping 2 miles. As a storm shower had just passed overhead, the heat from the sun started warming up the remaining water that was pooled on the cannons plinth. I saw the interesting shapes and decided upon a black and white contrast photo.
