Thanks for looking at this (old for USA) bank building with me. It's also noticeable that an old fallout shelter sign is still affixed to the left side of the building.

Ventured out to the Diefenbunker Museum today and had a pretty good time visiting around.
This room was located on the first level, four stories underground and was my favourite place. Quiet between visitors and just a good ambiance.
Couldn't resist the allure of the room and had to try for a self portrait, and luckily for me, Scott had brought along his tripod!
I only had one shot to shoot; after I shot the photo, the room started filling up with people and broke the spell.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Some buildings just "radiate" safety and protection, others take some imagination. Presidio, San Francisco.
made it to NY.. long day, one flat tire 1st thing in the morning, one cancelled flight, two delayed flights... and NO wifi ...
Happy Fence Friday Everyone!!!
this picture is dedicated to one of my favorite post apocaliptic universe: fallout 4 and fallout shelters
a relic of the cold war. i can identify.
it seems trite now but my generation grew up completely assuming that one day we or the world would die in a nuclear firefight. It wasnt a guess. It had the solidity of certainty. One day, either by horrifying accident or unflinching escalation, the missiles would be unleashed and pour over the artic circle, raining an apocalyptic destruction on us. i never bothered with the idea of fallout shelters and surviving - who would want to survive in that world? bodies addled with gamma-radiation, society shattered, the return of darwinian savagery, food and water poisoned, the healthy survivors shunning the refugees to protect the little they held on to.
the cold war seems so long ago and the geopolitical dynamics so irrelevent now, but at one time we lived with the reality of the world dying in the time it takes to sit down and eat a meal...

The vault door to my LEGO Fallout MOC. Quite a few changes had to be made from the digital version to make it sturdier. Overall I like this version better anyway. Instructions: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-107924/MasterBuilderKTC/fallout-...
Atlantikwall Regelbau L487 Bertha - Commando Bunker for Luftwaffe Night-fighter From World War 2 1945.
Bunker L487 is a ww2 German bunker for radio measurement device evaluation for night fighter control "Bertha" in English.
The Bunker L487 communications is 22.10 meters long, 22.90 meters wide and 8.60 meters high and has two floors.
The night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after World War II) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. Night fighters began to be used in World War I and included types that were specifically modified to operate at night.
During World War II, night fighters were either purpose-built night fighter designs, or more commonly, heavy fighters or light bombers adapted for the mission, often employing radar or other systems for providing some sort of detection capability in low visibility. Many WW II night fighters also included instrument landing systems for landing at night, as turning on the runway lights made runways into an easy target for opposing intruders. Some experiments tested the use of day fighters on night missions, but these tended to work only under very favorable circumstances and were not widely successful.
Avionics systems were greatly miniaturized over time, allowing the addition of radar altimeter, terrain-following radar, improved instrument landing system, microwave landing system, Doppler weather radar, LORAN receivers, GEE, TACAN, inertial navigation system, GPS, and GNSS in aircraft. The addition of greatly improved landing and navigation equipment combined with radar led to the use of the term all-weather fighter or all-weather fighter attack, depending on the aircraft capabilities. The use of the term night fighter gradually faded away as a result of these improvements making the vast majority of fighters capable of night operation.

From 1962, deep in the midst of the Cold War. I found this amongst piles of musty smelling magazines and articles at a booth at the Inman Park Arts Festival several years back. The cover is classic: your average white American family enjoying life as best as they can after an atomic attack. What I love the most about it is that Mom is in her day dress, apron and all, preparing dinner, and Dad is relaxing in his jacket, smoking a pipe, having just finished reading the liner notes to something by the Ray Coniff Singers, probably.
The rest of the handbook is some interesting stuff if you dig construction how-to's -- this could've been sold at a Home Depot if they had them at the time. There are some very interesting ads in the handbook, too. Check out the rest of the images I've scanned to see more.
