It might have repelled Sir Francis, but I find it compelling. Great composition with strong foreground and lead-in to the fort and movement in the sky around the fort.
Nice one!
 
It is always interesting to see how moving water is recorded in long exposures. This is a fine result with a pinhole camera. Show us more.
 
Quit it, you are making me want to build a pinhole and I already have too many cameras and not enough time!

Great photo.
 
I'm still trying to get my first attempt at a pinhole camera to work; having trouble making it light tight, I think.

Just when I was about to throw in the towel, I see you photo... Thanks for the creating a great image, which has helped to motivate me once more...
