Pirates and Cannon

In part payment for a photo they used, the Maritime museum sent us passes which we used this weekend.
It was cold and grey to start so at 65' my kids wrap up as though it's the artic
it was fun to see a poster of the shot they used, especially as people were booking for a battle later in the day.
So after being shown how to fire a Cannon by the "Pirate" and touring all the exhibits,I took "Orange Aid" out to get a few shots.
Weather a little cloudy still, but managed a few.
I love the Cannon blast (a little fuzzy as it's zoomed in ) but still a fun shot.
cheers Dal

Your family looks quite happy for prisoners on a pirate ship!! The pirates gotta work on his scowl more . Looks like the weather really cleared up despite the weak attempt or rain on Saturday. Photos look great as usual.
I really like the cannon firing one.

Nice photos Dal.....

The last time we were in San Diego was 1975. Nice Zoo.... Looks like there is more to see now!

Might be on the West Coast in September. Don't know if we will get that far South but I shall be investigating. I take it the museum is worth a visit?

Enjoy,

Mike C
