"On 3rd March 2006 I was able to tag along with the Coastal Defense Study Group who visit the Manila Bay defense Islands every so often.My camera has a problem- I can't operate the menu on it any more, so the dates on the pics are wrong. These pics were shot on 3rd March 2006." -Carlos

Thanks Karl, I fixed the link. Nice library of photos. Those are huge coast artillery rounds.
