Old Fort Niagara , USA

I took this standing in Canada and its actually in New York State in Fort Niagara State Park

Fort Niagara is a fortification originally built to protect the interests of New France in North America. It is located near Youngstown, New York, on the eastern bank of the Niagara River at its mouth, on Lake Ontario.The fort played a significant part in the French and Indian War, and fell to the British in a nineteen day siege in July 1759, called the Battle of Fort Niagara
The history of Old Fort Niagara spans more than 300 years. During the colonial wars in North America a fort at the mouth of the Niagara River was vital, for it controlled access to the Great Lakes and the westward route to the heartland of the continent.

    A terrific creation!!!! However I have to agree with General George S. Patton, Jr. who said
    “Fixed fortifications are monuments to man’s stupidity.” Bill
