Very nice, thanks!1,500 years of active fortification on the site proves the real estate people are right--"location, location, location!"

Thanks for the photos. I would live to visit some of the forts in England, Scotland, Europe. I have never been off the North American continent. Your picture tour is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
