Portuguese Forts and Artillery slideshow

[cannonmn]

I've got an email penpal named Joao Centeno.  He sends me photos of cannons from Portugal, where he lives.  I put some of them together in a little slideshow.  The bronze cannons in the pictures show about as high a level of workmanship as there is in bronze casting and finishing.

There's a bronze mortar shown near the end that I think I would do just about anything to get.
