  • Outskirts of Korce. A bunker, one of 700,000, has been built outside the house for protection against an unseen enemy. The bunkers, each large enough for a man and his rifle, were built by Albania's Stalinist dictator Hoxha between 1950-1985, who propigated the fear of invasion from all corners, from NATO and even the Soviet Union, against an enemy that never came.<br />
<br />
It is said that when a prototype for the bunkers was presented to Hoxha, he demanded the architect to go inside of it. A tank was then ordered to open fire. The bunker withstood the shelling, the architect survived, and Hoxha gave the go ahead to build replicas of the prototype all over the country. There is still one bunker for every four Albanians today, and nobody seems to know what to do with them.

  • WW2-era concrete pillbox defence structure lies on the beach after coastal erosion at Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey, Kent. As part of Britain's coastal defences in the 1940s, beaches were mined and concrete bunkers  installed as lookouts facing out so sea and in the event of an invasion by German forces, as firing positions. Overhead, the Luftwaffe flew on their way to London during the Blitzkrieg. More recently, they have fallen into the sea after coastal erosion continues to wash the sedimentary soil (from the Eocene geological epoch of 52-51 million years ago) into the tidal waters of the Thames estuary. Chain Home Low Station at Warden Point was built in 1941 it stood on top of the cliffs then. Erosion of cliffs caused the remaining buildings to fall into the sea in the 1970s.

  • Said to be the worse golfcourse in the world, players negociate sand and lava to reach the oil soaked green, 27th May 1997, on Ascension, a small area of approximately 88 km² isolated volcanic island in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, roughly midway between the horn of South America and Africa. It is governed as part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Organised settlement of Ascension Island began in 1815, when the British garrisoned it as a precaution after imprisoning Napoleon I on Saint Helena. In January 2016 the UK Government announced that an area around Ascension Island was to become a huge marine reserve, to protect its varied and unique ecosystem, including some of the largest marlin in the world, large populations of green turtle, and the islands own species of frigate bird. With an area of 234,291 square kilometres 90,460 sq mi, slightly more than half of the reserve will be closed to fishing.

  • Architectural landscape of missile silo doors entrance at the former nuclear weapons-era airfield occupied by US Air force personnel during the Cold War and now vacant, awaiting re-landscaping and returning to common parkland for the public to use. Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces during World War II and the United States Air Force during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended, it was closed in 1993. The airfield was also known for the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp held outside its gates in the 1980s. In 1997 Greenham Common was designated as public parkland.

  • A lorry unloads its cargo of wood chippings in a disused aircraft hanger on an airfield in Suffolk, United Kingdom. There are about 50 tonnes of chippings stored here ready for use in wood chip burning boilers.  This area of the UK is rich in woodland and this wood can provide a sustainable source of heat when used in efficient boilers. This is exactly what local schools are doing thanks to the local council which is managing the resource while supplying wood-fuel for heating. The initiative saves the schools energy, reduces CO2 emissions by 1,200 tonnes a year and cuts their fuel bills by up to 25%.  Suffolk County Council won an Ashden Award for its approach to susatainability.

  • Corporal Mal Faulder pushes a Martin-Baker ejection seat through an RAF Hangar. He is an Armourer (an engineer handling seats and weaponry on military jets) but here in the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team, his duties are wider. With other members of the team’s support staff (the Blues who outnumber the pilots the Reds by 8 to 1) he also helps clean the Hawk aircraft before air shows across the country. He pulls the seat into a blast-protected bunker for safe storage where explosive charges inside this equipment are temporarily removed. The seat is returned to service when the aircraft is through its regular maintenance schedule. British company Martin-Baker manufacturers ejection seats and membership of the its Tie Club is solely for air crew who have ejected from an aircraft in an emergency which saved their life.

  • The field of stelae of the outdoor Holocaust Memorial, a reminder of Jewish persecution and anti-Semitism in Europe during the second world war. U.S. architect Peter Eisenman's controversial design was chosen as a fitting tribute to the Jews that died before and during World War II as part of Hitler's plan to exterminate them. Eisenman's design is quite unique and has drawn both praise and criticism. Occupying about 205,000 square feet (19,000 square meters) of space near the Brandenburg Gate and just a short distance from where the ruins of Hitler's bunker is buried, the Berlin Holocaust Memorial is made up of 2,711 gray stone slabs that bear no markings, such as names or dates. It is estimated that the Nazis used these camps to kill an estimated 11 million people.

  • Sinister silhouettes in an underpass tunnel with walls covered with urban graffiti. The tunnel is located near Waterloo mainline station and the concrete bunker-like place has become a favourite landscape for dedicated street artists who are free to cover the walls and pavements (sidewalks) with expressions of their urban artistic ideology and political protest. In daytime, this environment is not as intimidating as it appears and Londoners pass through as a shortcut beneath an otherwise complex route of roadways and railway tracks above. There are also periodic festivals of street art attracting the best of artists including the secretive Banksy.

  • Two army officers from Ecuador admire an air-to-ground PARS 3 LR missile at the Paris Air Show, Le Bourget France. The two men (the man on the right's name badge says M Pazmino), admire the sleek design of the missile called PARS 3 LR in German but known as TRIGAT-LR (Third Generation AntiTank, Long Range) and AC 3G in the French military, the missile is a high-precision 'fire-and-forget' weapon system for engaging mobile and stationary targets equipped with the latest generation of armour protection, such as tanks, field fortresses, bunkers and other high-value targets. The system can launch up to four salvos in eight seconds. <br />
The Paris Air Show is a commercial air show, organised by the French aerospace industry whose purpose is to demonstrate military and civilian aircraft to potential customers.
