Happening today - working on photographs of Iceland.
In working with the National Park Service, I get to visit many interesting places. The experience is also an educational adventure.
I never heard of a “Demilune” before until I was commissioned to photograph Fort Warren and other sites at Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.
The fort is a National Historic Landmark dating back to 1847. The Demilune is a crescent-shaped fortification that juts out from the fort from which an attacking force can be divided and fired upon.
There are historic sites where entry is guided by a ranger and distances are maintained behind velvet ropes and other barriers.
But Fort Warren and its Demilune are open to be freely explored. There’s an eerie beauty as one descends into the bowels of the decaying structure – especially as the last rays of the sun pierce the now defenseless space.
