From Wikipedia:
"The northern range of this complex of buildings contained a central granary flanked by flour mills, with 27 sets of millstones powered by a pair of steam engines, capable of producing 270,000 lb. of flour per week. Grain could be loaded directly into the granary from vessels on the quayside. The southern range contained the bakery, with two sets of six ovens, back-to-back either side of the central spine wall (beneath a row of four square chimneys). There was a central boiler house with a chimney, with one engine to the north and the other to the south (the engines also powered biscuit-making equipment). The biscuits were dried on the upper floors of the side ranges; there was also a drying kiln above the boiler house. Although fully equipped as a biscuit and bread factory when opened in 1834, it was initially given only one full production run; then in 1839 the equipment was removed and installed instead in the Victualling Yard at Deptford. There was no more baking here until 1843 when, newly equipped, the complex again began to be used for its original purpose (which it continued to fulfil until 1925). It subsequently became a clothing and equipment store. The building was damaged by a fire in 1929, and again in 1960.
"The building is now known as Mills Bakery and includes 86 apartments, commercial and office space."

Abandoned cars on the old Koonalda Homestead complex (an old sheep station/service centre before the Eyre highway was moved further south + now run by the Parks service ~100k E of the WA border) in the Nullarbor National Park
These photos are from early sessions in our Wild training complex phase. We start with exercise bands perfecting movement technique and improving core strength and then move on to sandbags and kettlebells.
OK... No idea on "what" this is or "why" this giant red truck has a missile on it, but apparently, it's part of a memorial service for the artist Tom Kennedy that recently drowned at San Francisco's Ocean Beach.

Naval museum complex Balaklava (Ukrainian: Морський музейний комплекс "Балаклава", Russian: Музей холодной войны, "The Cold War Museum", designation K-825) is an underground submarine base in Balaklava, Crimea, Russia/Ukraine[1] (originally known as Object 825 GTS). It was a top-secret military facility during the Cold War, located in Balaklava Bay.
Today it serves as a museum and also houses a museum about the Crimean War.
The object is built accordingly to withstand a category-I nuclear explosion (protection from a direct hit by a nuclear yield of 100 kt), which includes a combined underground network of water channels with a dry dock, repair shops, warehouses for storage of torpedoes and other weapons. Additionally it could house personnel to protect them from nuclear fallout. Located in the mountain of Tavros, on both sides of which there are exits. If necessary, caisson gates could be used, which seals the entire complex. To exit to the open sea, an exit is provided on the northern side of the mountain. The holes in the rock are neatly covered with camouflage devices and networks.
Object 825 GTS was intended to house, repair and maintain submarines of Projects 613 and 633. The central water channel of the facility, whose length is at 602 meters, could accommodate up to 7 submarines if necessary, and in all channels, up to 14 submarines of different classes. The water channels have depths up to 8 meters, with width ranging from 12 to 22 meters. The total area of all facilities in this base is around 9600 m2, while the total surface area of water is at 5200. Equipment loading in peacetime was carried out on the pier, while watching out for the movements of spy satellites of the possible military adversary. A special tunnel is used for loading equipment into the base in wartime. The entire complex also includes the repair and technical base, codenamed Object 280, designed for storing and maintaining nuclear arsenal. The temperature inside the base is kept around 15 degrees Celsius.
In the period after the Second World War, the two superpowers, the USSR and the U.S., stepped up their nuclear arsenal, threatening each other with pre-emptive strikes and retaliatory strikes. It was then when Joseph Stalin gave Lavrentiy Beria (who was responsible at that time for "nuclear projects"), a secret directive: to find a place where they could house submarines for a retaliatory nuclear strike. Several years of research pinpointed the quiet Balaklava as the location, and the city was immediately coded and got merged into the city of Sevastopol as a city district. Balaklava sits on a narrow winding inlet with a width of only 200–400 meters. The small inlet protects the city not only from storms, but also from prying eyes, as it is not visible under any angle from the open sea. Additionally, the site is close to Sevastopol, a major naval base still used by the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet.

A team from Xi'an Jiaotong University brought this fascinating airplane. The structure was very complex and all laser-cut, and the transparent covering showed off the interior detail. I have pictures that show off the plane better, but I like it against the dark background.
