I have reloaded this image, cropped and with significant changes to the contrast and colour balance.

These 64lb cannon are muzzle loaded, built and placed at Fort Lytton to protect Brisbane from the threat of a Russian invasion in the 1880s.

Once I get a chance to clear some space on this stupidly full pc (yeah still too poor to upgrade to Mac), I'll put together the sequence shot as a ultra wide landscape because while the cannon is very cool, watching the reactions of the guys trained to fire it is hilarious! Only one of them stays at attention... I suspect he's the only one with good earplugs!

Thanks mate!

bigbaaadaaboom! They are firing the 64lb charge with paper wadding as the projectile - it breaks up right away and usually burns away before it hits dirt

You know, I don't they they had earplugs....
