The ruins of Fort James sit on the northern point of land that creates the harbor at the city of St. John's. It was a very small fort and not very much of it remains.
A lone cannon remains at its vigilant stance along the sea wall as the sun hides behind a neighboring palm.
Only one of two old wooden doors barely remains in place at one of the entrances. The original block work was covered with plaster at one time during upgrades to the facility, but over time without care the plaster has broken away to expose the bricks once again.
An old stone & concrete stairway gathers dried leaves from a nearby tree.
The same silouhetted cannon is a reminder of what was once a very important protective fortification many years ago.
As the day comes to an end a golden sun continues to fall toward the sea as the skies around it are painted in pastel hues of lavendar and orange.
