Chain Rock


Chain Rock
Originally uploaded by Rexton.
Chain Rock is in the bottom right, and is topped by a channel light. In World War 2 and extending back a few hundred years, a chain was stretched across the Narrows to protect the harbour from incoming enemy vessels. To the left of Chain Rock (not quite in this image) is the Chain Rock Battery, also used in more than one war.

marj k , who picked this wonderful photo for the "Hall of Fame" says:

The decisive moment, as Cartier-Bresson tersely defined it, is ‘the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression."
