One of the remaining structures still standing on the site is a part of the missile assembly building. This, along with another building next to it, is where they received and assembled (shocker!) the missiles to be stored in underground bunkers. No miscellaneous missile parts here, though evidence of a great airsoft battle was found.
I’m also taking critiques on this one. I think I’ll be revisiting it in the digital darkroom.
Security post at the gate of Nike Missile Site B-55L Blue Hills, active from 1955-1963. This site, along with hundreds of other across the country, once held Ajax missiles in attempt to protect the country from Soviet bombers during the Cold War.
Just down this road we found the missile assembly buildings, and the remnants of the missile bunkers and launch pads. You can bet those photos are coming soon.
Old can found near an abandoned missile base from the Cold War period. I guess chucking it in the woods was proper back then. More fun pictures to come.
This is the scene in which the typewriter from yesterday’s post was used in. If I’m not mistaken, I used this photo before in my portfolio, but I’ve added some grittiness to it which I think it deserves.
I should shoot more abandoned property. You never know what you’ll find lurking in these places.
The boiler room in an abandoned paper mill in Turners Falls, MA. Fun weekend that was, quite an experience.
