The larger piece is both the bottom of the superstructure and the front panel, not yet cut off. The smaller piece will be the top of the superstructure, in two parts for a hinged access panel.

Further to the west on the spit are the buildings of the second phase. The most distinctive structures built during this phase were the two Vibration Test Buildings, now commonly referred to as ‘The Pagodas’ (National Trust buildings E2 and E3). The specification for the Vibration Test Buildings included the ability to withstand the accidental detonation of 400lbs (181.4kg) of high explosives; they were designed by G W Dixon ARIBA for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and are identical. Both Vibration Test Buildings, their control room and centrifuge were constructed in 1960.
They comprise a large reinforced concrete central cell 16.47m (54ft) by 7.30m (24ft) covered by a massive reinforced concrete roof supported on sixteen reinforced concrete columns. To the south and east of the main chambers are self-contained plant rooms. The main access to the building is from the south through an entrance passage which was originally sealed by a pair of outward opening metal covered wooden doors. On its western side, adjacent to the main entrance passage is a blocked doorway that led to a small staff room and toilet. Inside the buildings on the eastern side of the passageway one set of stairs gives access down to the main test cell and another to a walkway around the top of the chamber. At the end of the passageway is a lift pit, which allowed test pieces to be lowered on to the floor of the main test cell. To assist in manoeuvring heavy objects there are a number of substantial steel eyelets screwed into the underside of the roof. A travelling crane also ran on rails mounted on a ledge beneath the windows, a loose plate on the floor recorded ‘Becker twin Lift Maximum Working Load 40 tons serial A-2647-2’.
The floor of the main cell is formed of parallel and narrowly spaced steel ‘I’ section beams for test rigs to be firmly secured to the structure. To either side are cable ducts. At the same time as being vibrated objects might also be placed in jackets to simulate extremes of heat and cold, or in a portable altitude chamber to mimic the effects of altitudinal changes. Set into the north wall are seven steel plates with vertical cruciform slots that were also used for securing tests rigs or monitoring equipment. Below these are eight pipes opening from the service passageway to the north. In the south wall are three steel plates with horizontal slots, above the plate is stencilled 1-27ft and below it 1-7.5m. The walkway around three sides of the cell was originally protected by a handrail and there is another handrail fixed to the main wall. Running around the wall is a cable conduit and attached to the wall are various pipes for carrying electrical wires, switches, junction boxes and pressure gauges. Signs on the wall above the lift pit record ‘Telephone Instrument Room’, ‘Vac Pump Running, Vac Pump Stopped’ with associated light fittings. At the north east corner of the cell is a doorway to the rear service passage running east to west along the north side of the building. To the east a flight of stairs gives access to the eastern plant room. To the west another set of stairs provides access to the northern side of the lift pit, the upper walkway and to an emergency escape passage through the north side of the traverse. To the south of the main cell are free-standing Burwell brick-built plant rooms. The main plant room is entered through two sets of double doors on its south side, internally are four machinery mounting plinths. Attached to its west wall is a metal cabinet that probably housed equipment to operate the hydraulic compressor for the internal lift. At the eastern end of the building is a store room with a blocked doorway to the south.

“Wind turbines turning steadily in the breeze, the mighty Delta Works standing tall along the Oosterschelde, and the stunning Zeeland Bridge stretching toward Zierikzee — a perfect afternoon in the Netherlands.”
This elegant glass fibre structure was a new idea in prefabricated rooms on view at Casa Decor.
Casa Décor Barcelona 2010 was held in an old school for the blind in
Barcelona. Here around 120 architects, designers, interior decorators,
artists, craftsmen and artisans were given free rein to create rooms and/or
installations that reflected their work.
The effect as always was magical.
Casa Décor has been operating in Spain since 1992. They have held over 50
shows in Spain and Portugal. They have mounted one show in London, and hope
to be back soon.
Casa Decor Barcelona runs from 5 November to 8 December at
102 Avinguda d'Esplugues, Pedralbes, 08034 Barcelona.

shooting data :
Panasonic DMC-LX1
lens : 28-112 mm ( 16:9 ) : 28 mm
program auto exposure : - 1.33 EV
manual focussing : 3-6 feet zone setting, 6-15 feet zone setting
shooting mode : continuously
ISO : 80
date : Wed. 23 Aug. 2006
place : the upper deck of my junction station, JR Higashi-Kanagawa station south-east area, Yokohama canal, on the road of Route 15
JR --- Japan Railroad or something
higashi --- east
note :
I used my LX1 on 28 mm with 3-6 feet zone setting and 6-15 feet zone setting.
I used 3-6 feet zone setting for the person.
and I used 6-15 feet zone setting for the canal mainly.
and naturally,
LX1's battery was dead in 2 hours usually.
That was the place just near the main road to my Dai-koku Pier.
...
my frivolities
I went shooting with LX1 and W5.
W5 was using for the evening and night.
my W5 has f 2.8 and f 5.6.
and my W5 still had made stains on f 5.6 at that night.
but in the night, it is very hard to get f 5.6 naturally.
so I could use my W5 in my Dai-koku Pier with manual exposure for the evening and with auto exposure for the night.
I had to use my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
but I did the normal mistake naturally again.
at first,
I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 2.8.
and soon I had been shooting my W5 by manual focussing with f 5.6.
and soon later I had been shooting my W5 with auto exposure entirely.
I found it on my Dai-koku Oo-hashi ( big bridge ) in the night.
I had already been shooting over 200 jpgs until then.
My memory stick pro could accept only around 250 jpgs plainly.
I couldn't do my shooting from the evening again.
It had already all been passing.
All the causes had been hidden in my W5's tiny little pushing buttons.
It comes from my frivolities.
...
Leica M8
my W5 had already come back from SONY for repairing with no cost.
so,
I don't have a need to use my frivolities any more.
the manual exposure setting was not my shooting style naturally.
I had been shooting by manual exposure in my film lording type camera days.
The film lording type camera days could not be coming any more for me probably.
That has two simply reasons,
One is from my monetary reason.
and the other,
Leica had released Leica M8 already.
The most of all someone had been saying like this.
" I only shoot film ! "
The monetary reason person had been using the plastic digital cameras.
With no monetary reason person would be soon using Leica M8 naturally.
I have been simply loved Leica since 1978.
M8 is my too much more more far away dreaming still now.

This was next to the rail yards in Freeport, IL. Most of the buildings and vehicles looked to be abandoned...and some buried.
