rusty hooks on the L 411 garage for a searchlight (WWII). I guess the hooks were used to attach camouflage of some kind.
Old WWII bunker at McKenzie Head, Cape Disappointment State Park, WA. The passage goes right through under the little hill and opens on the other side. There is an old gun steering point on each side. These never did see any action.
The Devil's Slide Bunker is located on the coast of Highway 1 (SR-1), San Mateo County, California. It's an abandoned military triangulation bunker.
This late afternoon, before sunset, huge clouds almost touched down the surface of Pacific Ocean, and the colors changed slowly to purple and pink which my eyes was charmed.

It has been approximately 2 years since Maarten Takens and I LPed together. Time flies. We enjoyed ourselves at the WWII bunker in Clingendael. On these Maarten did the ambient lighting and I did the figures.
On the rugged San Agustín coast, this weathered WWII bunker stands guard over the Atlantic—stoic, sun-bleached, and slightly baffled by the speedos and sangria of modern Gran Canaria. Once a lookout for invaders, now more likely to spot paddleboarders and parasails. Time really does change the view.

now an electricity sub station.
This was going to be my photo of the day, but after I'd uploaded the photos onto my laptop, I changed my mind.
I'm not 100% sure that it was a WWII Bunker, but it would seem logical.
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The largest bunker in the Netherlands is located in IJmuiden, on the grounds of Cebo Holland. This is a factory that imports and trades large quantities of minerals such as bentonite and barite. This bunker is not underground, like most bunkers, but protrudes more than 17 metres above the ground surface.
It was built as a so-called ‘schnellbootbunker’ and served as a storage and mooring place for motor torpedo boats. These could be deployed tactically via the harbour of IJmuiden. The bunker was put into use around November 1941 and was regularly fired upon by the Allies, although this initially had little chance of success.
It was only when the Tallboy and similar bombs were invented that the Allies managed to damage the bunker. These bombs first pierced the thick layer of concrete that covered the roof of the bunker, before exploding inside. The bunker is of gigantic proportions with dimensions of 242.15 meters long, 73.85 meters wide and therefore more than 17 meters high. However, this height is only the part that protrudes above the water surface, because the boats were of course in the water. The walls of the bunker are therefore sunk much deeper under the water surface.

Which looks as though is now being used for something else. Seen at the top of the hill overlooking the Port.

The Flakturm (Flag Tower) is a concrete bunker that is placed in a city. The bunker was provided with a space where people (in the largest tower itself was room for 20,000 people) could shelter during bombings and there was space for storage of goods. The bunker was equipped with Flak anti-aircraft gun (Flak is the acronym for Flugabwehrkanone, also called Fliegerabwehrkanone).
These large towers were built during the Second World War in the cities Berlin (Germany), Hamburg (Germany) and Vienna (Austria).

Please comment on this pictures, as I am an aspiring photographer.
Located just east of the Cape May Point Light House in what is now Cape May Point State Park, New Jersey, the bunker was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers during the early months of the Second World War. It contained heavy artillery and was manned by a rotating detail of naval gunnery crews, who spent hours on end scanning the horizon for enemy surface ships and submarines. (In fact, a German U-Boat commander surrendered his vessel just off the coast of Cape May at the end of World War Two - which will be the subject of a future article.)
The vigilant fighting men in the Cape May Point bunker saw little combat, but if the war had taken a turn for the worse, these sailors would have been our last line of defense on the Atlantic seaboard. They may not have gotten much of the glory, but the boys manning this coastal battery were heroes in the truest sense of the word, all those years ago
