Fortaleza de San Fernando de Omoa, in Omoa, Cortes. It used to be right at the edge of the ocean, and I’m sure it used to be impressively high. Now it has sunk, or rather, the ground has been raised as the little town has grown around it.
As I looked at all these things, I thought about the men who stood here so many years ago. History becomes real when you stand in the same spot.
Lovely monogram.
This is a tiny window in one of the turrets.
Two spires. I like the contrast of the brown and the white against the green.
It’s impossible to get a picture of the shape of the Fort. This is as close as I got.
