I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin'
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar Love
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort
Comin' in from above
Don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar Love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called
Radar Love

In Svalbard I did a fantastic hike to and across the Foxfonna glacier. Our guide was the very talented Emily, equipped with rifle (apparently World War II vintage and very heavy) in case we encountered any polar bears. This was near the start of the hike, passing the EISCAT radar station, looking like something from the Cold War.
A disused radar tower near Coalhouse Fort, East Tilbury.
There is quite an array of disused/derelict military building nearby: Coalhouse Fort, originally built in the 1860s and added to over time: a minefield control tower from WW2, a smaller detached battery, etc. Directly across the River Thames is a largely similar fort, Cliffe Fort; unlike Coalhouse, which is open to the public, Cliffe is derelict, inaccessible and largely hidden, although a small part of it can be seen to the left of the tower. A third fort, Shornemead, ruined, is a few miles upriver.
This is a WW2 radar tower disguised to look like a water tower, near Coalhouse Fort.

La Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile se devait d’améliorer le contrôle radar en raison de l’augmentation constante du trafic aérien et de l’insuffisance de la technologie des moyens de contrôle en service datant des années 1970 et réalisés à partir de Drachenbronn pour le Nord-Est de la France. Il importait d’assurer une meilleure couverture radar des deux aéroports de Strasbourg et Bâle-Mulhouse-Freiburg par la réalisation d’un radar secondaire de telle sorte qu’à tout moment un avion peut être vu sur l’écran du Contrôleur du Centre Régional sur une distance de 400 km, comme celui de la tour de contrôle des aérodromes avoisinants. Le choix du site s’est porté sur le Grand Ballon comme étant le meilleur parce qu’il domine le massif vosgien.
En raison de l’impact de ce site sur le paysage, il fallait tenir compte d’importantes contraintes écologiques et d’architecture de montagne, afin de ne pas dénaturer le site. L’équipement technique est signé Claude Vasconi, architecte parisien, auteur, entre autres de la Filature de Mulhouse. L’ensemble de l’ouvrage d’une hauteur de 18m a la forme d’un vaisseau d’après les uns, d’une comète d’après les autres. Il est implanté exactement au sommet du Grand Ballon à 1424m d’altitude sur le territoire de la commune de Geishouse et non plus sur celui de Soultz comme prévu initialement. Le bâtiment est constitué par une embase en granite d’une longueur de 80m qui émerge naturellement et graduellement du sol et qui est couronnée par le radôme, sphère sommitale de 9m de diamètre. Les salles techniques sont intégrées dans la partie longitudinale de l’édifice, de même que la galerie d’accès aux deux mâts d’antennes de 27m de hauteur situés à l’extrémité du vaisseau.

The 'Combat Sent' role is for locating and identifying foreign military land, naval and airborne radar signals

a vintage cop car in front of roy's motel. the site has a photo shoot scheduled for march, hence the fancy lobby and patrol car.

There are certain subjects that just ask to be played around with, in terms of finishing. This long exposure version was impossible to resist.
The radars are from Belgocontrol and serve to control air traffic above Belgium. They detect the aircraft entering and leaving the country, their location and their identity.
The radars ensure that aircraft can take off and land safely in Brussels. They can detect all air traffic within a radius of 260 kilometers and up to an altitude of 10 kilometers
