Fort Tabor foggy and clear
For todays post I am going to share some shots from Different visits to Fort Tabor Park
some with it being quite foggy which was just a couple of days ago, and then similar views on nicer sunnier days I have visited there
Starting with a shot of Fort Rodman, on a day we had some nice warm color sin the sky at sunrise

And the fort just the other morning where the heavy fog we had gave quite a moody feel. now you may say the fog doesn't look that heavy, but the fog came rolling in quickly, literally a minute after I took this shot from this same viewpoint, I could barely see the fort.

A little bit about the Fort
The fort which was also known as the old Stone Fort, and the Fort at Clarks Point until 1898
Construction of the Fort started in 1857.
As built is had 72 cannons in three tiers, they had originally planned a fourth tier, but that was dropped to speed up the completion time for the fort
As I understand it the fort at different times had 12 Guns from 3 inch up to 8 inch that were active from around 1899 up to 1946
The guns were all scrapped by 1948, and the fort grounds became a Military reserve center, in the 1970's the reserve center closed and now the area is a public park.
Next up we have the pier in the park, standing out against the early morning's blues
