“Old Guards”
Image from last month when I was doing a morning hike in the Biesbosch. Searching for some old trees I found this spot with some trees and spend some time to make this shot.

Old Heritage church building at Huskisson N.S.W.
I was just playing around with some black and white processing on this and liked the outcome
I always wanted to photograph the Old Swanage Pier.
I have seen some many incredible shots of this structure that I promised myself to do it one day. Thanks to Mark Bauer, we got there but we were unlucky because you don't have access to the front of the old pier, so you need to adapt. And tell me about it. Pier, wind and rain. Odd combination for a long exposure shot. But it somehow ended up very nicely in my opinion. Color works quite nice too. I will do a black and white version of it, just in case.

Duga-3 (NATO reporting name Steel Yard) was a Soviet over-the-horizon radar system. It was developed for the Soviet ABM early-warning network. The system operated from 1976 to 1989. Its distinctive and mysterious shortwave radio signal came to be known in the west as the Russian Woodpecker.
Two stations of Duga-3 were installed: a western system around Chernobyl and an eastern system in Siberia.
The transmitter for the western Duga-3 was located a few kilometers southwest of Chernobyl (south of Minsk, northwest of Kiev). The receiver was located about 50 km northeast of Chernobyl (just west of Chernihiv, south of Gomel).
The Soviets had been working on early warning radar for their anti-ballistic missile systems through the 1960s, but most of these had been line-of-sight systems that were useful for raid analysis and interception only. None of these systems had the capability to provide early warning of a launch, which would give the defenses time to study the attack and plan a response. At the time the Soviet early-warning satellite network was not well developed, and there were questions about their ability to operate in a hostile environment including anti-satellite efforts. An over-the-horizon radar sited in the USSR would not have any of these problems, and work on such a system for this associated role started in the late 1960s. Duga-3 could detect submarines and missile launches in all of Europe and the Eastern coast of United States.
The first experimental system, Duga-1, was built outside Mykolaiv in Ukraine, successfully detecting rocket launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 2,500 kilometers. This was followed by the prototype Duga-2, built on the same site, which was able to track launches from the far east and submarines in the Pacific Ocean as the missiles flew towards Novaya Zemlya. Both of these radar systems were aimed east and were fairly low power, but with the concept proven work began on an operational system. The new Duga-3 systems used a transmitter and receiver separated by about 60 km.

Countryside in southern France near the city of Aigues Mortes. I was impressed by the beauty of these old trees at the entrance of a wine-growing estate.

Many thanks for your visit, your kind comments and your support, my flckr friends:)
Have a great week all.
Where I live there are tons of old barns everywhere from the past that are just falling apart, many of them have vehicles in them.
An old, abandoned set of farm buildings, houses and outhouses in Stanley Ferry near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. It has an interesting history; I found this info about it here: www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Stanley-Ferry-History.html
"Situated on the land between the River Calder and Canal, Old Park Farm lies between Stanley Ferry and Eastmoor on Welbeck Lane . The exact age of the farm is not known but it is believed to date back at least to the early Victorian Era. The farm which was owned by Wakefield council up unto recently, has been run by a number of families over the years. Today the farm stands derelict; plagued by its recent history.
In 2008 the farm was closed after concerns were raised about the welfare of the birds that were kept there. These included Harris hawks, red-tailed hawks, two emaciated European eagle owls and Lanner falcons. In 2005, nine eagle owls kept at the council-owned site were used in film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Since the farm was abandoned it has become a dangerous eyesore, and a meeting place for local kids and with evidence of drug taking on the site. Piles of rubbish litter the farm buildings, where slates have been stolen from the roof and fires have been started. In 2009 RATS president Paul Dainton called upon Wakefield Council to make the site safer after the buildings became too unsafe to be left as they were. In July 2010 the farm was sold at auction by Wakefield Council for £162,000, selling for almost double the guide price. It is unsure of what the new owners plan to do with site at present."
Old Town Lucerne is located just north of the Reuss River, and still has several fine half-timber structures with painted fronts. Remnants of the old town walls exist on the hill above Lucerne, complete with eight tall watch towers. An additional gated tower sits at the base of the hill on the banks of the Reuss River.
The overcast skies finally cleared for a few hours this week, so I headed out to Scituate. It happened to be the first time I have run into another night photographer.
Taken from the walls surrounding the Old Town of Alcudia, well worth a walk around and affords some lovely views across the surrounding countryside.
