Una vista mortal / A deadly stare
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Foto presa amb una Graflex Combat Graphic de 4x5 polzades, fabricada el 1944, i potser veterana de la US Navy o el USMC; objectiu Kodak Anastigmat Special f4,7/127mm; pel·licula Fomapan 100.
Vista d'una fortificació de la guerra civil perduda dalt d'un serrat a la Segarra, formant part de la Linea L-2 de defensa de Catalunya, construida el 1938.
Aquest bunquer en concret es troba a La Pleta de Foguet, just sobre un cingle que domina perfectament el Torrent de Vilagrasseta i el camí que porta de Verdú a Granyella de Segarra. Es tracta del tipic niu d'ametralladores circular, però en aquest cas també compta amb trinxeres de pedra cap a la reraguarda. La part frontal sembla haber rebut danys, potser en combat (tot i que tota la Linea L2 caigué sense gaire esforç), o potser a la postguerra, intentant recuperar el ferro de l'estructura.

=================================================
Picture taken with my Graflex Combat Graphic 4x5 camera, made in 1944 and maybe veteran of the USN or USMC; Kodak Anastigmat Special f4,7/127mm lens; Fomapan 100 film.
View of a spanish civil war fortification in L'Ametlla de Segarra, part of the L-2 Line of defense of Catalonia, built in 1938.
This particular bunker is located in La Pleta de Foguet, right on a cliff that perfectly overlooks the Torrent de Vilagrasseta and the road that leads from Verdú to Granyella de Segarra. It is the typical round concrete machine gun nest, but in this case it also has stone-lined trenches towards the rear. The front part seems to have been damaged, perhaps in combat (although the entire Linea L2 fell without much effort), or perhaps in the post-war period, by scavengers trying to recover the iron of the structure (but then, they would have damaged the much more accessible rear!).
