This is looking up the grand atrium at the Hotel Westin Grand in Berlin. I'm working through older files, these are from a work related trip I did in June.

Locking up, in a tensile structure @ Dammam cornish ..
---------------------------
Ad-dammam Cornish last tuesday for a photography class assignment..
The Assignment was to choose a theme and take photos for it, while adjusting the Iso, aperture and the shutter speed ..
Our theme ( me and my friends) was about the Cornish.. Sunset time and at night , Ofcourse we were late and we missed the sunset :(
I wasn't there the last class so I didn't got it right.. hoping from now On, my Photogrphy skills will improve, Ur comments will help me alot..
Enjoy :D

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 61 –
Building 61 (Drg No. 1245/53) is a Non-Nuclear Component Stores with attached concrete gantry on four columns projecting over the road to the front (west). Reasons for Designation Building 61 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
▪︎RARITY – A rare building on a unique site designed to accommodate and service Britain's first nuclear weapon, the ''Blue Danube''. It is the only such surviving facility in the country.
▪︎HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION – The building has outstanding national and international interest for its historical associations with the development of the earliest British nuclear weapons technology during the Cold War, which helped shape Britain's post-war history.
▪︎GROUP VALUE – The building has strong group value with other buildings at RAF Barnham, and was part of the national deployment of nuclear weapons.
▪︎INTACTNESS – Building 61 is largely intact.
Non-nuclear component stores buildings 60 and 61, held the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The central section of the casing held the high explosive lenses assembled into a large ball with forward sections containing electronics and radars. Owing to the weight and size of ''Blue Danube'', the gantry at the entrance was required to manoeuvre the bomb onto a trolley for storage. Building 61 is currently used as small work units and has blockwork partitioning which is reversible.
▪︎MATERIALS – A reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, and a flat concrete roof. ▪︎PLAN – Rectangular, aligned approximately east-west.
▪︎EXTERIOR – Building 61 is surrounded by substantial earth bunds. It has a central recessed entrance flanked by two projecting two storey, flat roofed plant and switch rooms which originally contained plant to maintain a stable environment. The original steel doors remain. The rear elevation has a central door and there are crittall windows to the rear and sides.
▪︎INTERIOR – Originally sub-divided internally into compartments of 11ft x 3ft bays allowing the storage of up to 66 bombs, Building 61 has been partitioned internally to create smaller work units.
Although the site was in use for storage of Mustard Gas and explosives during World War II, it was not until after the end of hostilities that the depot was constructed in its current form. In the early 1950's, the Air Ministry had a continuing need for high explosive bombs and storage facilities for them and was looking ahead to a ''future war in which atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons would be used by both sides''. It is within this historic context that the Special Storage Unit at RAF Barnham was constructed following the issuing of ''Blue Danube'', Britain's first nuclear bomb, to the RAF in November 1953.
The bombs were held in clutches in V-bomber airfields such as RAF Scampton and RAF Wittering and the purpose of the store at RAF Barnham, and the almost identical site at RAF Faldingwoth in Lincolnshire, was to provide maintenance and refurbishment to support the airfields and hold spare warheads. The Air Ministry plan for the Store is dated May 1953, although planning for the facility almost certainly had started before this, and it was fully operational by July 1954. In the first phase of works, the fences, earthworks, fissile core storage hutches, inspection buildings and gantries were built by August 1955.
The small arms and pyrotechnics store, barrack accommodation, gymnasium, telephone exchange, meat preparation store and dog compound were erected shortly after to strengthen security. By mid 1955 the double fence was in place, later augmented by the current observation towers erected in early 1959 replacing smaller structures. The Special Storage Unit remained the main holding place for the Mk. 1 Atomic Bomb, under control of Bomber Command until November 1956 when an independent Unit (95 Commanding Maintenance Unit) was formed. During the operational life of the site, second and third generation British nuclear weapons such as ''Red Beard'' and ''Yellow Sun'' were introduced on the site.
By 1962, the site was in decline and the maintenance unit ceased to exist on 31st July 1963. The closure of the station is probably linked to the operational deployment of ''Blue Steel'' from late 1962. The site was sold to the current owners in 1966 and let out for light industrial use. Some of the buildings have been altered and most significantly, one of the non-nuclear stores burnt down in the 1980’s, but there has been an on-going maintenance and repair programme agreed with English Heritage resulting in the preservation of the site.
This is Antenna Structure Registration 1004108, owned by Blarney Stone Broadcasting, of Grayling, Michigan, and home of WLDR-FM/101.9, of Traverse City, which this site overlooks from a few miles to the west, at 5715 Gray Rd. I shot it from the north, somewhat against the sun. Here it is from the ground, via Google StreetView, shot the same month as I shot this series.

I note that there are seven additional bays between the antenna's eight.
I also see at least one, possibly two, FM antennas mounted on the Traverse City (left) side of the tower, both in the second red section from the top. But don't see any licensed transmitters for that tower other than WLDR.

Early Birds Kids Club members join volunteers to remove the enclosure structure while burrowing owls retreat to the burrows beneath it.
A call went out for a structure fire on Featherbed Ln. reportedly fully involved near the Manassas Battlefield. Units from Prince William, Fauquier, and Loudoun Counties were dispatched.
A batallion chief arrived on scene and reported a 2 story single family home was well involved. A few moments later, the batallion chief reported that fire had spread to brush around the home and a vehicle parked in front of the home.
It was also alleged over the radio that an outside propane tank near the home vented some time into the incident. I don't know if this ended up being true or not.
I have more pictures of the incident, but am being compelled not to publish them until the Prince William County Fire marshall's office completes its investigation.
The Prince William County Fire marshall's Office has completed it's investigation. Their investigation was unable to determine the cause of the fire, but did identify that it started on the exterior of the home. They indicate it is not a suspicious fire.

The 40 foot piece on the playa is planned to be very light, with no standard steel framing upon which the skin would usually be hung. The final piece will weigh only 3000 pounds.
