On Scene at an early morning fire that badly damaged the club house at the Canaan Country Club located on High St. in North Canaan, Connecticut. Shortly after 4:30 am the North Canaan Fire Department was dispatched for a structure fire at the country club and first arriving units confirmed the fire to be through the roof. Mutual aid for tankers, engines and additional manpower was quickly dispatched from Lakeville and Falls Village,CT as well as Sheffield Massachusetts. Though the fire was brought under control after 40 minutes the structure sustained heavy damage. Additionally railroad traffic along the Housatonic line had to be held since water supply lines had to be stretched across the train tracks from hydrants located on Route 7. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire or the suppression effort.
Completed in 1962, this Modern memorial structure was designed by Austrian-born architect Alfred Preis to memorialize those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, sitting above the remains of the USS Arizona, where 1,102 of the 1,177 victims of the attack were lost, remaining entombed within the ship. During World War II, the superstructure of the Arizona that remained above the waterline was mostly removed, with a flagpole being erected atop the sunken ship in 1950, with a temporary memorial being created above the remains of the deckhouse. In December of 1955, a ten-foot-tall basalt stone with a plaque was placed over the mid-ship deckhouse as a permanent memorial, while plans to build a larger memorial to those who died in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor were approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. The concrete memorial, completed in 1962, is a 184-foot-long structure, which is tallest at the ends with an arch descending towards the center, featuring a geometric roof with seven openings on the top broken by horizontal ribs, and seven openings on the sides, an opening in the floor surrounded by a railing that allows visitors a view of the remains of the USS Arizona below, an entrance area with a low ceiling that creates a sense of compression when entering the memorial, with the assembly hall of the memorial and the shrine portion of the memorial at the opposite end from the entrance area have a “release” effect with higher and open ceilings. In the shrine, there are two openings featuring the “Tree of Life” sculpture flanking a marble-clad wall with the names of those killed in the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, with the marble wall being especially sensitive to the humid and salty air of the site, necessitating its replacement twice - in 1984 and 2014. The entire memorial structure cantilevers over the USS Arizona below, hovering above the ship, but not touching it. The memorial was subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and the USS Arizona itself was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1989, though the memorial does not share the same status or National Register listing. The memorial sits as a major landmark in Hawaii and has been visited by every sitting United States president since its opening, with presidents presenting a wreath and scattering flowers in the waters above the USS Arizona in honor of those who died in on December 7, 1941. In 2016, the memorial was visited by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom paid his respects to those who had died in the attack, the first Japanese prime minister to do so, serving as a gesture of reconciliation between the two nations 75 years after the attack. Today, the memorial is run jointly by the United States Navy and National Park Service, and sees more than one million visitors every year.
Random shot taken during a feature in Suffolk. I'm led to believe this structure is something to do with the cooling outlets from Sizewell B nuclear power station, which was about half a mile away.
B&W treatment in LR with a contrast boost to bring out what little horizon there was - it was a grey, flat day that was pretty gash for landscape photography.

Old capitol building, interior.
This building has been here since 1845, although it has undergone various renovations since. The capitol employees vacated this building in 1978 for newer and more efficient accommodations and this structure was restored to its 1902 era beauty. It is now a museum (opened in 1982) where it displays political items and displays related to Florida's history.

Martin J. Lide designed this plan yet elegant structure built in downtown Dadeville in 1960. It replaced a much grander structure, which was built 100 years earlier in 1860. This edifice features Colonial Revival and mid-20th-century Contemporary styles. It is a contributing property to the Dadeville Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

The Rotor programme was developed to advance the wartime radar technology in detecting and locating fast-flying jets. It was approved by the Air Council in June 1950. The first stage of the programme, Rotor 1, was to technically restore existing Chain Home, centrimetric early warning, Chain Home Extra Low and Ground Controlled Interception Stations and put them under the control of RAF Fighter Command. There were three main components to the Rotor Stations: the technical site, including the radars, operation blocks and other installations; the domestic site, where personnel were accommodated; and the stand-by set house, a reserve power supply. The technical site for RAF Neatishead Rotor Station was located at TG 346 184. Crew were accommodated at RAF Coltishall and the stand-by set house was located at TG 342 200.
The two main constructions at Rotor stations were the operations block and guardhouse. Operations blocks were the largest structures built at Rotor stations. They were constructed of reinforced concrete and designed to withstand 2,000lb bombs. The outer walls and roof of the Rotor operations blocks were 9ft 10in thick and the internal walls between 5.9in to 1ft 11in metres wide. The exterior was coated with an asphalt damp course and surrounded by a 5.9in brick wall. The roof was usually flush with the ground surface and up to 14 ft 2in of earth was mounded on top. The operations blocks, identified by a 'R' prefix, contained technical equipment, domestic facilities, workshops and a plant for air conditioning and gas filtration, all within a single complex.
Four of the blocks (R1-R4) were underground constructions designed for the more vulnerable sites on the east and south-east coasts. Others were semi-submerged (R6) or above ground (R5, R7-R11) heavily protected structures built to withstand 1,000lb bombs. The guardhouses were designed to resemble ''bungalows''. They were single-storey buildings capped with a flat, concrete roof, above which a pitched roof contained water tanks. They were generally constructed of brick, but were built to blend in with the local architectural style. The guard rooms also contained an armoury, store, rest room and lavatories. Those associated with underground operations blocks featured a projecting rear annex that housed a stairwell leading down to an access tunnel.
Aerial photography from 1965 shows the R3 operations bunker at the site, as well as a Type 13, a Type 7 and four Type 14 radar plinths. A range of ancillary buildings survive. The area is part of an active base and museum. In March 1947 the station was established as a Sector Operations Centre. Between 1961 to 1963 the station was reduced to care and maintenance and was then reopened as a Master Radar Station. A fire in 1966 destroyed the underground operations complex and the station was closed until 1974 with a new data-handling system occupying the original Happidrome. In 1994 the Air Defence Radar Museum opened at the site, which also continues to serve as an operational base.
Personal experience of working at Neatishead communicated by email states ''I was posted there as a sgt in 1973 and it was fully operational, T85, T84, HF200 and more all working. Furthermore, the other half of my Locking entry was posted there in 1971 and all worked on the operational radars, txs and rxs. I left in 1976 and visited again in 1977. T85, stuff of legends, 60Mw with all 12 Txs running''. Detailed history of the 50 years of the founding of RAF Neatishead 1941-1991. R30 operations room, R12 Radar equipment building and R3 underground operations block; Listed. For the designation records of this site please see The National Heritage List for England. Decommissioned 2006 and sold. Feb 2013, 25 acres of the site were again sold. The Air Defence Radar Museum was not part of the sale.

Built in 1912-13 by the Glacier Park Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, the Glacier Park Lodge was designed by Samuel L. Bartlett and Louis W. Hill, and was constructed in the Rustic and Swiss Chalet styles to house visitors whom traveled to Glacier National Park via railroad. Based on the Forestry Building at the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, the lobby in the original hotel building, located in the center of the structure, measures 200 feet (61 meters) by 100 feet (30 meters), enclosed by massive Douglas Fir tree trunks, which are still coated in bark thanks to being cut in the winter, and have Ionic-style capitals made of smaller logs. The exterior features more durable Cedar tree trunk columns that support the roof and multi-level porches, and both rustic log and sawn wood balustrades. Due to the popularity of the hotel in its early years, a large annex building, with a heavier influence from the Swiss Chalet style, was built next to the original building in 1914, expanding the number of rooms in the hotel from 61 to 172, and features multi-tier porches with sawn ballustrades. The annex and original hotel were linked with an elevated sun lounge, which connects the lobby to the first floor of the annex building. To the rear of the hotel stands a Chalet, which was constructed alongside the original hotel to house seasonal employees, which has since been supplemented with multiple additional cabins and bunkhouses for employees. The hotel saw the addition of a nine-hole golf course in 1928, the first golf course in the state of Montana, before being sold by the Great Northern Railway in 1960, after which a pool was added and the building was renovated under the private company Glacier Park, Inc. In 1981, the hotel was sold to Dial Corporation, which later spun off Viad Coporation as a separate entity, which remains the operator of the hotel. Open only during the time between mid-May and mid-September, the hotel remains a seasonal operation, and maintains its connection to the nearby East Glacier train station, which is served by Amtrak’s long-distance Empire Builder route. The hotel maintains a 1960s 9-door Checker Aerobus, which is still sometimes used to carry guests and their luggage to and from the nearby East Glacier Train Station. Despite being a historically and architecturally significant structure, the hotel, unlike many of the others built by the Great Northern Railway, is not currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has several building systems and elements on the interior that appear to have not been touched in decades. Today, staying at this hotel features accommodations that are a bit like stepping back in time.
Tom Dykstra (left) Bill Lambert, Indiana NRCS northeast Area Easement Program Specialist, and Art Franke, Indiana NRCS district conservationist for Steuben County, tour Dykstra’s wetland reserve easement located in Fremont, Indiana June 7, 2022. Dykstra purchased the 110-acre wetland reserve easement in 2015. The property was originally enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Easement Program through USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in 2010 through an initiative in the Fish Creek Watershed aimed at creating habitat for the endangered copper belly water snake. Dykstra worked with NRCS in 2019 to connect multiple wetlands on the property with tile drains and water control structures to address flooding issues caused by excessive rain. The structures enable him to manually control the water level throughout the property. Dykstra is also working with NRCS to address invasive species on the property. (NRCS photo by Brandon O’Connor)
Hi,All,I responded to a report in my local paper.Maybe Wartime building.(Surrey Mirror).
Its just been uncovered from growth that has surrounded for many years.
They are after info about it.
I asked my Dad who is 82 about it and we came to this theory!
It could have been built by French Canadian Forces who were in the UK at the time.
It may have been a lookout, a shell for AA guns or petrol store with a conveyer to get goods/stores out.Hence no ladders etc.
At this time there were many AA batteries in Roffes Lane and Alderstead Heath.
Any info anyone can give would be much appreciated.
A damaged structure on a hog farm surrounded by flood waters in White Oak, North Carolina after Hurricane Florence battered the area. Florence began as a disturbance but it gained strength and crossed the threshold from tropical storm to hurricane in a matter of days. Later, it became a fearsome Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130 mph. Although Florence made landfall near Wrightsville, North Carolina, slowed down, it caused heavy rainfall and devastating flooding. The storm flooded the state shutting down power plants, breaching coal ash ponds and flooding hog and chicken farms causing extensive environmental damage.
