Cannon Balls in San Juan

This photo is of one of stacks of Cannon Balls in the old Fort of San Christobal in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is a large fort with many areas to explore and some historical scenes- the stacks of aging cannon balls that have taken on the colors of their surroundings caught my eye, interesting, historic, waiting in vain to do there duty.
