Uglyworld #657 - Cinko at Battery Russell, originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.

Cinko decided that we should go and visit the old buildings of Battery Russel which used to protect the Pacific coastline of Oregon against invaders during the first and second world war.

He stood and asked loads of questions to the park ranger who came along to talk about the history of the battery, and even found out that the huge guns which used to be located here were actually sent to England once they were decommissioned.
