Or at least good enough for downtown Muscatine!
Do authorities just look the other way when it's a basket crane that's violating a no-parking zone, vs a car or truck.
This boom lift is casting a short shadow so maybe it's lunchtime and maybe that's why it looks abandoned right now: Its operator has gone off someplace to eat a sandwich.

This construction work has been going on for ages. With no sign of getting even half way finished it starts to look like it could be a suburb all of its own with school and shops and all sorts.

STERILE AREA –
RAF Barnham Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility was heavily secured and at the time was probably one of the most secure locations in the United Kingdom. The security element was the responsibility of the RAF Police (RAFP). Personnel from differing operating periods at RAF Barnham have stated that there were up to three varieties of RAF Police specialisations working at the site: 'Provost' 'Station' and 'Qualified Police Dog' (dog handlers).
As well as a standard outer fence and main gate picket post, the facility included an inner perimeter fence and within that an inner concrete wall with another picket post. The area between these two latter perimeters was classed as ''sterile'', with trip wires and flares in the gap between them and atop the wall, to alert the guard force to intruders. Pole-mounted lighting was positioned at regular intervals within the sterile area and halfway between the towers was a V-shaped bulge in the fence to allow patrolling guards the ability to look up and down the fence line from a small path that ran within the area. A telephone post was located at these bulges.
Two electric sliding gates at the outer and inner fence and a traditional style split middle wire gate acted as ''vehicle traps'' for any vehicle driving in or out. At the front sliding gate was a personnel turnstile controlled by the RAFP guardroom. At the rear sliding gate was personnel access to the inner picket where flammables and other contraband (matches, cigarettes, lighters etc) were surrendered before entering the ''Danger Area''.
RAFP Dog Handlers patrolled the site and the RAFP station staff manned the watch towers and pickets. The area between the outer and middle fence was patrolled by the Dog Handlers, with elements of the outer perimeter reportedly just spools of barbed wire.
Five Watch Towers, one at each point of the pentagonal fence, were located on the inside of the middle fencing when the site was decommissioned. These were accessible along the path within the sterile area near the fence line, some elements of which are still visible under the moss and foliage. A 6th vantage point was located on the maintenance building towards the centre of the compound. Each tower could see the others at the time of operational use (trees get in the way now) and were fitted with searchlights at a third of the way up and right at the top, possibly similar to those used on ships. It has been reported that the angle of the lights had to be limited as the Officer Commanding RAF Lakenheath had made complaints that his pilots were getting dazzled by RAF Barnham's watch towers.
The existing tall metal towers were believed to have been installed in late 1959/early 1960. Prior to this there were wooden ones, described as being pretty basic and about 15ft high, with a base around 6ft square with a large searchlight mounted in the centre which could be swung almost 360° in either direction. Access was reportedly by a wooden ladder and there was a single railing round about waist height. There was a field telephone at the top of the ladder and ''special'' binoculars were issued. The platforms were in roughly the same positions of the new towers but on the inside of the concrete path. It has been reported by another source that when the new towers were built, the fences had to be modified to accommodate them, via a U-shaped cut-out, visible on the site today.
A former RAFP Dog Handler stated that before being posted to Barnham, you and more importantly your dog had to gain at least 90% in exams/tests, meaning they had some of the best personnel and animals in the trade. In comparison, the RAFP Station staff stated that they received no special training as such for the role. They did get sent on a special security course, but that it was of little relevance or use to RAF Barnham. They simply classed it as another security related job. Some have stated that they spent a lot of time on the range, with many of the Police being marksmen. It has been reported that the RAFP were issued automatic 9mm pistols towards the end of the site's operational period, replacing the Smith and Wesson .38 that had been in common use.
The shift pattern recalled by most RAFP personnel spoken to consisted of 9 consecutive shifts comprising 3 evenings (1500-2300), 3 midnights (2300-0700) and 3 days (0700-1500) which would then be followed by 2 days off. Approximately 14 Station staff were on shift, comprising of one Sergeant shift controller, one Corporal deputy shift controller and 12 others, some made up of National Service personnel. Therefore, with an off duty shift, this meant a guard force of around 56, plus all of the ''X'' flight staff (the term used for those involved with the weapon convoys), which had around 14 personnel. It was usually an hour on and an hour off on the old wooden watch towers. The Dog Handler shift patterns were (1800-0000) and (0000-0600), with no day patrols, around 8 dogs were on site at a time.
This and other RAFP sources have said that the security personnel knew very little about the goings on inside, even with the vantage points of the towers. It is reported that all movements were specially screened to be hidden from view, with even the large bombs themselves sheeted. One RAFP officer had even reported as quipping to a convoy commander about ''another glider'' coming in, making reference to the similarity between the ''Blue Danube'' pantechnicon and a glider trailer.

I took these two photos of Railroad Switching Towers somewhere in or near Grand Rapids, Michigan on October 18, 2004, while on a Business trip.
Does anyone know where or What this is ???
Disclaimer: I took this photo on October 18, 2004 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Slide Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Slide and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate this Digital Image
From the corresponding comparable image taken on Feb 5, 2014 you can see that Unit 8 now has a set of motion sensor security lights identical to those previously on the front of Unit 1 and still on the front of Unit 8.
I'm not very good at Night Photography, but had a go on Film to see what I'd get. I just remember the sky was pitch Black, and maybe I was lucky that the security Light came on, on the house in the background.

While my Uncle suffered (loudly) from the flu and kept disturbing Pip’s nap by trumpeting his nose I decided to do something useful.
I recently “acquired” an empty foldable box and today was the day I folded it all together and wrote a neat sign saying “Props”. Now I finally had a way of storing the more elementary of my props without them getting dispersed all over the place.
I even installed a red security light to keep other scavengers from trying to loot the box in search of hidden chocolates (I think we all know who I’m talking about).
With my chores for the day all done I went to keep my Uncle company. It’s not easy suffering from the flu without someone by one side who makes sure that the tissue and tea and cookie supply doesn’t run out.
After my friend told me about Jupiter being so close to the moon, I had to go try and capture it myself. Unfortunately, the longest lens I had was an 85mm, so I didn't get the detail I wanted. I shot it through the tree in front of the shop and the security light gave the tree this weird, yellowish cast. This is a 2 shot composite. One for the moon and the other for the foreground.

This month is almost over, how crazy is that? This is really bad and icky because it was taken in pitch black with a teensy dim security light switched on so I had to change the colour because it just didn't look right. I also cropped it because I think it looks much better like that.
I went running again today, I guess it was slightly easier than last week's but it still tires me out like crazy, I'll just have to get used to it.
very secure indeed. high up in the carport on my security light. very difficult to photograph in case the flew away.will try again this year.
Now we can design a light that is weather tight and attractive . Our 4" aluminum wall mounted LED light can be power coated or anodized to fit your designing needs. The light can be designed with 36 to 72 Nichia LEDs. We used a 3/8" thick aluminum mounting plate. This model can also be designed in stainless steel and copper.

This caught my imagination when passing the other night.
For some reason it reminded of the film Wrong Turn.
I think it was because they had old bulky trucks dotted around there yard.

This replaces the earlier, blurry version, this time using a tripod. Twice up at 3.00am!
At 3.00am, I didn't feel like looking for my tripod, so its blurry, but perhaps I will try again tonight, if our neighbors have their lights on again!
After the wettest April on record, May doesn't look much better!! The rain captures last night in the glare of my garden security light. Quite pretty in a dark, depressing kind of a way.. thats damp round the edges!

I teach a night class on Monday night that goes until 9:30. Often by the time I get through talking with students, answereing questions and such, I am not back in my office until 10 or so... then I have to often check email, organize for the next day, whatever various chores need to be done before I go home... so I often do not leave until much after my class is over... by the time I leave.... I am usually keeping my eyelids open with toothpicks... Tonight I just briefly stopped at the security light to take my SP before I went to my car. I had no idea how they would turn out, but I was so tired, I just went with it... it was all I had..... I was surprised at some of the results... and... as it always seems to go... when I think I "got nothin'"... is when end up having a hard time deciding.... so... mutliple posts on this one.... maybe they will get widdled down as the days go on....
Our flex neck 3 LED path light can put the light where you need it. These can be ordered with more LEDs and the post can be from 1 to 3 feet.
