This is the command bunker of the Latvian Soviet Command, comrades Voss and Pugo, purpousely built to withstand nuclear war for (up to) 3 months.

Construction finished after a whole 12 years in the early eighties. It was never used, so it's pretty much intact with machinery and all.

The construction had to be kept secret, so they draftet crew randomly from all over Latvia and rotated them for short 5 day shifts, the idea was that this would prevent the workers from knowing what they were working on. Some parts are constructed by KGB specialist crews.

This construction was a huge moneydrain for the Latvian Soviet economy, and thankfully a complete waste of money, as the tense decades of cold cold war after the Cuban Missile crisis eased into Glasnost in the nineties.

The bunker was still in use intil the early nineties. Much of the interior is intact, with furnishing and equpment mostly as was.

A very good guided tour takes you through the complex in about an hour, and you really get that 80s feeling, as well as a good account of the Latvian Soviet history.

Bring something warm to wear as the bunker lies convenienty 9m underground from the Communist Party's Recreation Resort in the Beautiful forest of Ligatne.

This resort is now housing a rehabilitation hospital.

One of many, many, many hallways that seem to take no end in the Beelitz Heilstätten.

How much more indoors can you get - a large space with no natural light.

Hallway

Manaus, Brazil: hotel with long, classical hallways.

my hallway is now Enchanted rather than Screaming Blue. I like the lavender, and how it occupies a space in the middle between the grey bedroom and the more-warm, darker lavender of my bedroom. The hallway looks a lot bigger and more open in the lighter color. I'm looking forward to returning the art to the hallway, too.

A pic of a hallway to show the quality of the design and construction of this building (done by local contractors!).

A second-floor hallway at Roosevelt High School undergoing renovation.

We are in the process of finishing a room in the basement. The void seen overhead is being sealed off to form an additional closet, opening into one of the bedrooms.

Desolation

The empty hallway of the hosting school during class time. The students were taking the Bach, which is essentially the test deciding the rest of their lives. It's like an entrance exam to the real world, in may ways.
