My brother from Atlanta, Georgia visited us last night!
We did a little bit of ocean front dining and viewing.

At right, partially obscured by the catenary poles and signal on Track 4 for BORO interlocking, is the old wooden tower that was known as SS165 in New Haven Railroad days. Allegedly constructed in 1898, it was relocated here when the NH undertook their massive grade separation project through town and built their two new stations between 1903 and 1906.
This tower also holds the distinction of being the last in service on the corridor in the state, not closing down until 1993. Amazingly it survives nearly three decades later despite regular reports of its imminent demise.

Of the many surprising corners to be found in Berlin, this bunker is practically intact, with a few scars, from World War II at number 20 Reinhardtstraße, north of Friedrichstraße station.
Originally based on plans of the architect Karl Bonatz (the younger brother of Paul Bonatz) the building was designed in 1942 and it was constructed in 1943 by National Socialist authorities by forced laborers to shelter up to 3,000 Reichsbahn train passengers.
In those times it was called Reichsbahnbunker Friedrichstraße.
The square building has an area of 1,000 square metres (11,000 sq ft) and is 18 metres (59 ft) high.
Its walls are up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) thick.
There were 120 rooms on five floors.
In 1945 the MGB, a former Soviet intelligence and counterintelligence agency, one of the forerunners of the KGB, established one of many command centers in this building.
Buildings next to the bunker, formerly used as secret prisons for political prisoners by the Gestapo, (Geheime Staatspolizei or Secret State Police), have also been taken under MGB control and continued to be used as such as.
From 1949, it was used to store textiles and from 1957, as storage for dry and tropical fruit, which is why the building was known as the Banana Bunker among East Berliners.
In the summer of 1992, after German reunification, it was turned into a hardcore techno and fetish club called "Bunker".
Gabba, hard trance, house and breakbeat parties were held on four floors.
After a police raid in 1995 the events became more irregular.
A further raid in 1996 placed severe building restrictions on the tenants, causing the club to close.
The annual Fuckparade began in part to protest the closing of the club; for several years, the demonstrations would start at the Bunker.
In 2001, real estate investor Nippon Development Corporation GmbH bought the building from the government.
In 2002, it was the venue of the Berlin art festival "Insideout".
BOROS COLLECTION
Christian Boros purchased the bunker for his private collection of contemporary art in 2003.
He subsequently had architects Jens Casper and Petra Petersson convert the building into a 32,000-square-foot (3,000 m2) exhibition space and build a 4,800-square-foot (450 m2) glass-walled penthouse on the roof.
The renovation work was finished in 2007.
The interior design of the penthouse was featured in a 2017 Financial Times article.
The first exhibition of the permanent collection opened in 2008, featuring selected sculptures, installations, and light and performance works by, among others, Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen and Dragset, Robert Kusmirowski, Sarah Lucas, Tobias Rehberger, Anselm Reyle, Monika Sosnowska, Santiago Sierra, and Rirkrit Tiravanija. That show opened in 2008 and attracted 120,000 visitors during its nearly four-year run.
Opened in 2012, "Sammlung Boros #2," features 130 works by 23 artists, including Ai Weiwei, Thea Djordjadze, Klara Liden, Wolfgang Tillmans, Cerith Wyn Evans.
This was replaced in 2018 by "Boros Collection / Bunker #3", which includes works from the artists Martin Boyce, Andreas Eriksson, Guan Xiao, He Xiangyu, Uwe Henneken, Yngve Holen, Sergej Jensen, Daniel Josefsohn, Friedrich Kunath, Michel Majerus, Fabian Marti, Kris Martin, Justin Matherly, Paulo Nazareth, Peter Piller, Katja Novitskova, Pamela Rosenkranz, Avery Singer, Johannes Wohnseifer.

FUNDACIÓN BOROS, 2010
(De mi archivo personal de imágenes digitales, año 2010)
De los muchos rincones sorprendentes que se pueden encontrar en Berlín, este búnker está prácticamente intacto, con algunas cicatrices, desde la Segunda Guerra mundial en el número 20 de la Reinhardtstraße, al norte de la estación de Friedrichstraße.
Originalmente basado en los planos del arquitecto Karl Bonatz (hermano menor de Paul Bonatz), el edificio fue diseñado en 1942 y construido en 1943 por las autoridades nacionalsocialistas mediante trabajadores forzados para albergar hasta 3.000 pasajeros de la estación de trenes de Friedrichstraße.
En aquella época se llamaba Reichsbahnbunker Friedrichstrasse.
El edificio, de planta cuadrada, tiene una superficie de 1.000 metros cuadrados (11.000 pies cuadrados) y 18 metros (59 pies) de altura.
Sus muros alcanzan hasta 3 metros (9,8 pies) de espesor.
Había 120 habitaciones distribuidas en cinco plantas.
En 1945, el MGB, una antigua agencia soviética de inteligencia y contrainteligencia, precursora del KGB, estableció uno de sus numerosos centros de mando en este edificio.
Los edificios junto al búnker, que la Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei o Policía Estatal Secreta) utilizaba anteriormente como cárceles secretas para presos políticos, también pasaron a estar bajo control del MGB y continuaron utilizándose como tales.
Desde 1949, se utilizó para almacenar textiles y, a partir de 1957, para almacenar fruta seca y tropical, razón por la cual el edificio era conocido como el "Búnker del Plátano" entre los berlineses orientales.
En el verano de 1992, tras la reunificación alemana, se convirtió en un club de hardcore techno y fetichismo llamado "Bunker".
En cuatro plantas se celebraban fiestas de gabba, hard trance, house y breakbeat.
Tras una redada policial en 1995, la actividad se volvió más irregular.
Una nueva redada en 1996 impuso severas restricciones a los inquilinos, lo que provocó el cierre del club.
La Fuckparade anual comenzó, en parte, como protesta por el cierre del club; durante varios años, las manifestaciones comenzaron en el Búnker. En 2001, la empresa inmobiliaria Nippon Development Corporation GmbH compró el edificio al gobierno.
En 2002, albergó el festival de arte berlinés "Insideout".
COLECCIÓN BOROS
Christian Boros adquirió el búnker para su colección privada de arte contemporáneo en 2003.
Posteriormente, encargó a los arquitectos Jens Casper y Petra Petersson la conversión del edificio en un espacio expositivo de 3000 m² (32 000 pies cuadrados) y la construcción de un ático acristalado de 450 m² (4800 pies cuadrados) en la azotea.
Las obras de renovación finalizaron en 2007.
El diseño interior del ático apareció en un artículo del Financial Times de 2017.
La primera exposición de la colección permanente se inauguró en 2008, presentando una selección de esculturas, instalaciones, obras de luz y performance de, entre otros, Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen y Dragset, Robert Kusmirowski, Sarah Lucas, Tobias Rehberger, Anselm Reyle, Monika Sosnowska, Santiago Sierra y Rirkrit Tiravanija. Esta exposición, inaugurada en 2008, atrajo a 120.000 visitantes durante sus casi cuatro años de exposición.
Inaugurada en 2012, "Sammlung Boros #2" presenta 130 obras de 23 artistas, entre ellos Ai Weiwei, Thea Djordjadze, Klara Liden, Wolfgang Tillmans y Cerith Wyn Evans.
Esta fue reemplazada en 2018 por "Boros Collection / Bunker #3", que incluye obras de los artistas Martin Boyce, Andreas Eriksson, Guan Xiao, He Xiangyu, Uwe Henneken, Yngve Holen, Sergej Jensen, Daniel Josefsohn, Friedrich Kunath, Michel Majerus, Fabian Marti, Kris Martin, Justin Matherly, Paulo Nazareth, Peter Piller, Katja Novitskova, Pamela Rosenkranz, Avery Singer, Johannes Wohnseifer.

Boro is the nickname for Stevenage Football Club and as I was in Stevenage I made that assumption. However it could be any number of football clubs like the Poppies (Kettering Town) or the Gooners (Arsenal). The list can go on and on so feel free to represent your club if the colours are red. Let’s see how many clubs and countries are listed.
I couldn't resist making another mask and then came the tiny boro stitches which were an afterthought.... giving the look of this mask more of a peasant well worn look!
I also had a little fun taking pictures of my Dakawaii girl too! My Little Miss Andie's hairs are interesting to work as they were just little scrunched and fluffed up with my fingers!
