Terror Of Cape Town


This is the terror of Cape Town -- the Noon Day Gun on Signal Hill. Actually, it's one of two identical guns -- in case one fails. In 206 years, both guns have failed only once (in 2005). Once, the rammer was inadvertently left in the bore, and killed an unfortunate horse. OBSERVATION: You may click on the photo to enlarge to VGA.
