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.
photos from a little road trip/story assignment.
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
First proper sail of the season. Electronic aids are great but you can't beat number one eyeball.

I had some time over this BH weekend and sat down in front of a computer to stack a few of my older star trails. Here is one of them from our trip to Jurassic Coast back in April.
It's under an hour of 30 seconds exposures taken with my 700D that replaced ageing 350D last Christmas.
finally getting more film scanned, for this other-worldly morning up at the radar station above Bolungarvík, after a freezing fog the night before left everything coated in thick rime ice...
and this site is the former Latrar Air Station, part of the U.S.'s attempt to detect Soviet military incursions over Iceland: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrar_Air_Station
Per una stagione, ogni mercoledì i vistosi container arancioni di Dinazzano Po’ transitavano dal Ticino trasportando dell’argilla da Neuwied a Dinazzano. Purtroppo nel frattempo questo trasporto è già sparito nuovamente dai radar. A Claro due Re 430 di Widmer Rail Services conducono il pesante convoglio verso sud.
Eine Saison lang fuhren jeden Mittwoch die auffälligen orangefarbenen Container von Dinazzano Po' durch das Tessin und transportierten Ton von Neuwied nach Dinazzano. Leider ist diese Leistung inzwischen wieder von der Radar verschwunden. Bei Claro treiben zwei Re 430 von Widmer Rail Services den schweren Zug in Richtung Süden.

Oceania soldiers are finishing the final preparations of the radar to know the movements of the Eurasian soldiers in advance
Here are links to all my socials. Give them a look ! Links
This was an experiment that did not pan out as planned. I think I'm going to need to study lighting techniques more. The subject is a red glass with horizontal cuts in the glass and I was trying to shoot down into the glass from the top. Needless to say, the results were not what I saw in my mind. So I decided to play a bit with the image and see what I came up with. It looks like an old radar screen from an old WWII movie.
4 large radar dishes left to rust in a field. The area along the Norfolk and Lincolnshire coast was a key area for enemy bomber incursion during the second world war. The area contains remnants of many airfields where fighters were scrambled to counter-attack from, often very successfully. Supporting these airfields were a string of radar bases not far from the coast where enemy radio signals could be intercepted. Once the data could be combined with the intercepts from two other nearby radar posts, the position of the incoming planes could be triangulated and fed to the allied planes which would already be in the air. This tactic proved to be incredibly successful and saved the lives of many people in the towns and cities of the UK by reducing the number of bombers to successfully reach their targets.
Shot with the impressive Pentax K3ii, on loan from the nice people at Ricoh Imaging UK. I used the new pixel shift resolution feature and the lack of noise in the shot is very impressive.
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has many sites that are surprising tourist attractions, but none could be less likely than the Duga Radar.
This was the site of one of three “Over The Horizon” radars (OTH) in the USSR. This and another site in Ukraine beamed towards Europe; one in the Russian Far East, beamed out into the Pacific. By using shortwave rather than the UHF or SHF frequencies usually used by radar, the range could be extended over the horizon by detecting signals refracted by the ionosphere. Despite the fact that the ionosphere is always in a somewhat chaotic state, in theory a powerful enough computer could still detect the source of any given reflection.
In a metaphor for the entire Soviet system, however, no computer powerful enough existed and these enormously powerful 10 Megawatt transmitters merely sent out an intensely irritating pulse known as the woodpecker which blocked most shortwave transmissions over large parts of the world, annoying Soviet friends and allies alike to absolutely no utility. The system operated intermittently from 1976 until 1989. It was located near Chernobyl to benefit from the enormous amount of electricity it generated.
Ugly as the signal generated might have been, the antenna array itself is a thing of majesty, bursting from the forests that stretch on a flat plain for miles in every direction; a cascade of metal cones and struts that is 150 metres high and 700 metres long.
The radar had its own secret town attached; it was never officially acknowledged but was known as ‘Chernobyl-2’. It came complete with a gymnasium, school, hotel, and fire station. This was the only fire station in the region not called out when Reactor No. 4 caught fire on 26 April 1986 – a sign of the importance attached the OTH radar project.
Maintaining a structure like this is expensive, and nobody is expending any money on it, so see this strange Cold War engineering wonder while you can. It won’t last forever.
Beautiful site; the strike on the left is shrouded in rain while the strike on the right brightly leads the way for the massive rain column heading north over El Cerro (or The Hill) above the Rio Grande Valley in Los Lunas, New Mexico USA

nice solid fill on this beauty, and sick 3d!!
madd props and respect for this lil quicky!!
Just playing around with the dashboard of the 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe. Another of my Escher (or Droste) type photo manipulations. [see the first in the set for more info].

This section of Rohnert Park where the Officer was using a radar gun to clock speeders, always has fast drivers. I have had people fly by me as if we were on the freeway on this street.

When I first saw this, I wondered where the grass-collector was attached. And then I realised it is a very up-to-date ground penetrating radar set.
GPR is used in this geophysical survey to identify sub-surface changs in th soil structure, and particularly to identify buried wooden structures. The Roman fort is believed to have been mainly a wooden structure, and some elements have been provisionally identified.

Radar looking out the patio door yesterday afternoon during "kitty patrol".
This is one of my first practice shots with the new 50mm f/1.4 lens. I think I'm really going to like it, although will take some practice & getting used to, as this is my first ever prime lens...
The auto focus is a little tricky, plus he was panting rather heavily due to the intruder he had just policed off the patio (the next door kittens keep sneaking through HIS gate to eat HIS kitties' food and this causes US some serious issues, as in UTTER CHAOS...).
Anyway, I love his alert (obsessed?) expression in this shot.... and yes, Gamaw, he needs a bath & a good brushing ~ LOL! He is looking a little scruffy right now...
