Battery, Couple, Neglect


The park ranger had us climb the last few steps up and into what looked simply like a concrete circle. The San Francisco skyline was off to the left with the ocean and its fierce breeze directly ahead of us.

“This is the foundation of an anti-ship battery. It was built in the early days of Word War II in case the Japanese tried to invade. There are a couple more of these close by. They’re slowly wearing away from the weather and neglect. But there’s no money to preserve them.”

I didn’t really care. The view was beautiful.
