I share you a photograph due to the success in my Instagram account! (At the end of the blog there is an icon with the direct link).
This enormous buildings were a Guardia Civil camp in Castillejos, close to La Mussara. It was opened in 1950 for university militias and in 2000 it was closed. This buildings became one of the most important camps in those times having more than 4000 people in summer.
I finish here a little of history about this photo, it's always a good point to know some different places.

Military train W830-20 strolls northward through Bogart, GA, as it emerges from a thick fog enveloping CSX's Abbeville Subdivision. Visibility was less than a quarter of a mile in many places, making it tough to get any lengthy telephoto shots.

Here's a fun, quick series of military micro builds! Which one is your favorite?
After a 4-year hiatus, I've rediscovered my love for LEGO. It's weird to see how many of my favorite builders are now inactive. If you guys know of any hot builders let me know, I've been out of the loop for so long.
Anyway, this build was inspired by Andrew Somers. I used his tire design and let me tell you, it was no easy task. I had no idea those balloon tires were so stiff.
Enjoy!
This is a guard shack at the entrance of the military base that was here in WWll. The military base was demolished; but some concrete structures and slabs still remain.
Habitat destruction caused a massive decline in this species and was considered extinct in Britain by the 1920s. But it was rediscovered on a downland site (which has now succeeded to light woodland) in Buckinghamshire in 1947, and seven years later (1954) in an old chalk pit in Suffolk. For many years these were kept secret for fear of orchid collectors digging them up. In addition it sporadically appears at two sites in Oxfordshire and has been planted at sites in Lancashire, Cambridgeshire and Kent. There are about 50 plants in the Buckinghamshire site, and the other two native Chiltern sites in Oxfordshire only occasionally produce flowers, and usually no more than six. But the Suffolk colony is much larger, producing c2000 spikes in a good year. However, the origins of this colony are unknown and some authors consider the Suffolk plants to be of the Continental variety "militaris" whereas the Chiltern sites have plants of the endemic British variety tenuifrons. DNA profiling has confirmed that the two populations are different. Suffolk plants are generally taller, paler and looser flowered compared with Chiltern plants. I have seen Military Orchid at its Buckinghamshire site 35 years ago, and also at the Suffolk site at a similar time. But this photo was taken at the Suffolk site as we were en route back from Kent.

Perhaps the very last photo I got this cold evening, as I waited for the ferry to take me back. I love the dome of Hedvig Eleonora Church by the way. It's usually obscured by all the buildings surrounding the church, but from a distance, or with the help of lens compression, it really protrudes proudly.
As for the ship in the foreground, it's HMS Skifteskär. She was built in 1960 and was, among other things, used by the military to search for submarines. However she was decommissioned in 1998.
They are wrapping up a really big parcel. The last of the Ten Tors kids have been to this checkpoint and it is time to pack up.

Looking Back 100 Years.
The Somme, WW1.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
