I stood, watching these lone weapons sit in the morning glow of the fog. For nearly a century, these aging guardians loyalty continue to watch the boarders of their post
Very beautiful ^^

The way the light fades from left to right of the shot is incredibly atmospheric: as if you've just been walking throught the woods and are now coming slowly out into the morning mist. It does have a ghostly feel to it, but in a detached, reflective sort of way. That the other cannon is softened by the mist focuses attention on the main cannon, and makes me feel as if I'm looking at it's shadow. That probably sounds strange, but if you imagine the trees as a wall....

It actually sits in front of a parking lot in a battlefield wher I live.
Right Time Right Place.

I think if you put the guy from the war memorial with this baby he'd be killing all of us for looking at him-
I love the sepia tone. You did a great job capturing the 'mood' and feel of a time and place in history. VA is a great place to do that as well.

I like the air in it! I'd move the camera a bit to the left so the wheel would be in the center and the picture would be split in the left/lighter and the right/darker part. Maybe even a bit more to let more space in front of the cannon, guiding the eyes in the direction it's "shooting". Just the way I see it....
