A radar station next to a abendonned house caught my attention. Seen near Policoro in the Basilicata region of Italy.

El Radar MeteorolĂłgico es una herramienta optimizada para la
detección de hidrometeoros (fenómenos atmosféricos perceptibles y que
son consecuencia del vapor de agua que contiene el aire) y ceniza o
polvo.
Actualmente los radares son de las herramientas principales para los pronosticadores.
Un radar meteorológico funciona emitiendo pulsos de radiación electromagnética en frecuencias de microondas en la atmósfera.
Actualmente creo que muchos guatemaltecos desconocen de este tipo de herramientas que tenemos y que son vitales para la detección oportuna de los fenómenos atmosféricos.
El radar es de aproximadamente 8 metros de diåmetro y lo que pueden observar en la imagen es una especie de cobertura, dentro de la misma funciona una antena que gira sobre su eje en varias direcciones, como pueden observar es bien fotogénico.
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 âOver The Horizonâ 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 âChernobyl-2â. 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 â 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 wonât last forever.

The radar showed a storm building west of Cleve (about 2 hours drive from home in Port Lincoln), so I filled up and headed on my way. It was about 8pm as I hit Cleve seeing the clouds grow darker to the North, so I continued through towards Kimba for a few kilometers before stopping at a dried-up creek. I slung my tripod with my trusty Nikon D800 over my shoulder, scaled the barbed wire and headed along the creek bed eagerly, the sky flashing intermittently overhead. I found an interesting looking tree and set up my gear. I framed up my shot through my 24-70mm f/2.8 lens just as the sun was sinking into the horizon. As I stepped back from my tripod and waited for the 8 second exposure, I saw the bolt come down knowing I'd caught a good one.
The second in what will be a small mini-series, from my shoot at this radar station. It wasn't the most comfortable day, with a strong cold gusty wind, mixed with a bit of hail. To be honest, this place needed to be shot on a stormy day, to give some the images that bit of atmosphere befitting the subject.
The biggest challenge was the wind. A lot of time crouched down on ground trying desperately to keep the camera still. I said hello to a few folks as they passed by, and looked over, wondering what the hell I was up to. The upside was that the view was impressive, for as long as I could stand in the cold looking at it!
I was going to call this "Calling Occupants OF Interplanetary Spacecraft" or "NASA -Yorkshire Branch", but gave up and just went with Radar.
I actually had to climb through fences and things to get in here. I feel like some kind of crim.
I am lead to believe that this is a disused weather station. It is up on the moors above Haworth. It is fenced off and there are lots of signs saying no entry, but it doesn't look like anybody has been there officially for years. Around the back all the fences are torn down.
I have been after this shot for a long time now, so last night with clear skies predicted & no moon until later, I headed off to find this spot.
Deadwater air traffic control radar installation is one of Kielder's most visible landmarks that can be seen from many locations within the Park. Sitting on top of the 1900' summit of Deadwater Fell and overlooking Kielder Village, the facility controls the local airspace for NATO jets that are often seen engaging in low-flying exercises over the Park.
REFLECTIONS WITHOUT WATER OR GLASS..
A radar satellite,used in World War 2.It brought in information that saved many lives...I thought it would make a perfect subject for "reflection" as in thinking back.Usually reflections involve water or glass...None around, so I had to invent my own !!! Happy new week everyone...
