Hi Steve

I've put a link in the decryption box now ~ it is a mighty beast ~ All the best ~ Nick

Hi Nick

I like this picture very much.

I do wonder who it would be aimed at...
Perhaps might come int action again after Brexit.

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

Hi Peter ~ I suspect that its range would cover all of the straits ~ Thanks for your visit and good wishes ~ All the best ~ Nick

BOOM! BOOM! shooting good wishes over for a nice weekend, dear Nick
Hugs, Sarah

Hi Sarah

I wouldn't like to be anywhere close when this gun fired ~ Thanks for your good wishes Sarah & may you and Mr O enjoy a fine weekend ~ Hugs

Took a moment to take this in Nick. Even though I have been to Gib, I can't remember seeing this beauty. Great capture.

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Hi Herb

It is difficult to take all of Gibraltar in in one day, I suspect. We just spent a few hours there one day.

Thanks for your good wishes ~ Hanwe

Have you got a holster for this, Nick? ;-)
Hope you are enjoying your week.

LOL ~~~ I'm lost for words :)))) My week is not so bad so far thanks ~ I hope that your's is too

Amelia makes me laugh :))))
I wish it could shoot confetti!!! :)

she made me laugh too Tanja. Your idea to get the gun to shoot confetti is an excellent one. My next Gibraltar image will be of a wedding :)

Hi Nick bringing out the big guns here nice capture like it . Best wishes Alan.

Hi Alan ~ Thanks :)) All the best ~ Nick

... a photo of history (late 1800's arms race -- the Wiki link is a great inclusion; I had no idea ... another instance of "Encyclopedia Ipernity")

(hmm, one of the pics in the Wikipedia article seemed to indicate that muzzle loading on the Italian battleships was initiated outside the turret -- that can't be very safe or effective in combat; the loaders easily become casualties)
