Battery 247

Battery 247 is a WWII-era concrete coastal gun battery at Fort Canby with dramatic ocean-facing emplacement, rugged dunes, and views toward the Columbia River entrance. Photograph stark military geometry against surf, storm skies, and passing ships. Best at golden hour or after storms for contrast; sunrise lights the ocean while sunset silhouettes the battery. Park at Cape Disappointment/Fort Canby parking areas and expect a short uneven walk; sections are exposed to wind and spray. No special许可
