There were many, many canons, mortars and guns in the WWI museum. The size of this one drew my attention.
I am back home after graduation weekend in Albuquerque. It was a wonderful trip to see family and friends.

Makes me shudder.
Glad you had a good time. Ah, Albuquerque is a dream for me! :-)
It's always good to be home!
I must show these to my boys...
Deadly!
Welcome back!
That's a terrible WW I weapon. The shell weighed just under a ton, but only shot a bit more than a football field away. WW I was an awful war, only exceeded by WW II. Interesting photos.
Home with a big BANG?
Very interesting. I've never seen one of these either!
Glad you had a nice time away. But also glad you're back! :)
