Escotilla / Hatchway, Two

Not sure what this and the other hatchway are. They are at Fort Mott in Pennsville, NJ. It is a very old fort that is now a State Park. I believe these “windows” are to pass supplies into the fortification if and when they were in lockdown or in an exercise drill. There are no cannons remaining in the fort but the place used to house some of the biggest guns in the East Coast of the U.S.

Lost memories…

I took this picture last weekend at a yard sale. A friend of mine buys “storage units’ in default of their rent and all kinds of items are found there. Many times, boxes full of photographs. This was just one of them. While I was there, a girl , about 10 years old, bought the picture for $0.25. She will use the frame for some of her own pictures. A memory, a moment in somebody’s soul, will be lost forever…
