Darling Harbour, Australian National Maritime Museum, cannons

These cannons are on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour, with the museum's boats and ships on display in the background. King Street Wharf and the central business district is in the distance.

    Pretty impressive cannons. Visiting the boats in the harbour must be interesting when at the museum.

    Love the name, love the canons, love the shot. The buildings behind it really add to the whole scene.

      Jeanna, those buildings are at King Street Wharf with city skyscrapers rising up behind them.

    They're quite a sight! A naval reserve facility here has a couple of similar ones out front.

    These canons definitely eye catchers with their bright color.

    Impressive cannons. Their orange contrasts beautifully with the white of the boats.

      Gemma, they may look orange but they are actually red.
