Unthinkable
I've been away for a little family time but we did stop in to see the Diefenbunker - Canada's refuge for the government in the event the unthinkable happened - a nuclear strike during the cold war. It was fascinating to see the four story underground bunker that once had a staff of 500 personnel and is now a museum. Sobering too - when seeing the projected blast zones. This is the foreboding entryway leading to massive steel doors that would have sealed the building.
Photographing the facility was a challenge as it was under Covid-19 precautions - with limited access and guided walkways. I finally gave in and set my camera to full auto and hoped for the best. Check it out at: diefenbunker.ca
