Engineering Bunkroom 1

Housing the Nineteenth Century Geeks

 

I made these two captures through the window of the Engineering Bunkroom. Again, the lighting is ambient (ever try to use a flash through glass?), which is why the windows to the ravelin area are washed out.

 

Anachronistic artifacts aside -- such as the aluminum covered pan and the modern wine bottles in the close-up shot -- the room has many nice touches. The dioramas on the easels in the background (see the Original size) are the sort of thing a talented soldier might build to pass the time, in peacetime at a Fort that never came under fire. The hide over the chair in the foreground adds period authenticity.

 

I don't recall the exact use the Naval Undersea Systems Center made of this room during my time there, but I believe it was long-term storage.
