The interior of Old Fort Niagara, New York. October 25, 2008.
This is my entry for Sky Watch Friday, a weekly meme that allows you to see more of the sky from all over the world. Last week over 300 people shared their skies through this meme. To see some beautiful skies from around world, or to join and share your sky photos with us, click HERE.
When Betsy and I visited by daughter and her husband in Buffalo last October, we also visited Old Fort Niagara. The fort is at the entrance to the Niagara River not far from Niagara Falls and has been in existence since 1726.
It was a rainy, blustery day the afternoon we visited the fort. I snapped this picture from the parade ground as more clouds moved in. Since we were visiting an old military post, I couldn’t resist converting this to sepia.

A very ominous looking sky. One wonders what it was like on both sunny and dreary days ….life living and working in a remote fort back in the day. Thanks for sharing!

Great shywatch photo. Using sepia tells the story of the place being old. This was a good choice. Thanks for sharing.

B/W effect feels good for the photo.

The slepia coloring is just perfect for this photo. Could have been taken yesterday or 100 years ago!

Wonderful post George. Such a lot of history. The sepia is the very best approach I think. Really makes this fort seem as historic monument (which it is).
March 20, 2009 at 5:43 am |
I agree – the sepia is perfect for this shot!
March 20, 2009 at 6:05 am |
I like this in sepia….I would like it anyway.

Hi My Betsy’s George,
I love this photo, there is just something about sepia!!
March 20, 2009 at 7:04 am |
Great photo! Happy SWF!

George this looks so good, it looks as if you captured it a hundred years ago or so – as if it looked the way it did in its original day. Perhaps the coloring of the photo and the sky have added to this neat effect!

I love the sepia effect on this Fort – I feel like I’ve stepped back in time!

What a neat looking fort. I’ve never heard of it but it looks like a interesting place to visit. I bet there is lots of history.

It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz before it Tornado struck and the world turned colour. Nostalgic

It really does appear to be an old photo.
