The ruins of the Redcliff Radar Station. All the buildings are now crumbling and in ruin. This is the inside shot of the radar station. The stairs used to lead to the second level of the station but now there is just open sky. The station has been abandoned since 1961. Radar operators in the AC&W Squadron tracked the movements of aircraft sighted and passed speed, height and direction information to a Direction Centre (DC) and fighter interceptor squadrons. Fighter aircraft could be airborne in minutes after an alarm was given, and they closed in on unidentified planes by means of direction provided by the radar operators. Another of the Red Cliff functions was furnishing navigational aid to friendly aircraft operating in the area. Their detection of May-Day calls contributed to quick search and rescue efforts. / / More in this series / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

The defensive Tower house of Smailholm, just over the Scottish border, near Kelso. The tower was built in the mid 1400’s at a time when lawlessness and violent bands of reivers, ravaged the lands both sides of the English-Scottish border. And a solitary white swan, resides below the Tower Even today, the landscape is lonely, and you can easily imagine the starkness of those dark days. Dreary dull, grey, original digital photograph. / Lots of photoshop layers and borrowed sunset from my bonny Northumberland, Budle Bay photo. Inversion and refining with digital painting….. it would have been easier to conventionally paint this!!

Güzelyurt, the formerly name was “Gelveri”, is a small town located in the Aksaray Province in Middle Anatolia, Turkey. / As part of the Cappadocia Region (Kapadokya) it was an important place in the history of Christianity. / Gregorius of Nazianzus, who became the Archbishop of Constantinople in the 4th century, lived here and there was a Greek population in the area until the population exchange of 1924. There are still a lot of ruins like churches and monasteries from the ancient time in Güzelyurt. Related images: Cappadocia © Photo and text by Jens Helmstedt / Profile . Photos . Writing .

Suisinish is an abandoned village reached after a rough hour- long walk from Kilbride, near Torrin, Isle of Skye. / This old cottage is too modern to have been one of the dwellings where the folk were evicted to make way for the sheep, which were more profitable to the greedy landowners of the time. Many of the families were separated, and forced to emigrate to America, Canada, and Australia. / I cannot begin to feel their anguish. / There are many ruins scattered around the Brae (hillside), evidence of a thriving, close-knit community torn apart by human greed. Maybe this bulding was built early in the twentieth century, I have no idea and can find no information. / Back to the present….. / There was quite a wait for some usable light, a chilly fierce wind was blowing, rain was brewing, nothing new ! We sat in the shelter of one of those deserted ruins, eating a cheese piece, ( sandwich ) and a cheering cup of hot coffee from the thermos, reflecting on how ‘they’ lived then, compared to us nowadays, and watching the sheep that are now the only inhabitants of this beautiful place. / Rowan trees were planted in the belief they kept evil spirits away, and it is considered very bad luck to cut one down, even today ! This cottage is surrounded by them, I guess the magic didn’t work. A three shot HDR. CanonEOS 40D mounted on tripod, iso 100, auto wb, f22, RAW files converted in Photomatix, and touched up in Adobe CS3. / A little Orton also applied to ‘pop’ the texture of the stone. / A slight vignette added.

Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland is one of the most recognised and loved castles in all of England and Europe. The site where the castle now stands was previously home to a fort of the native Britons known as Din Guarie and it “may have been the capital of the British kingdom of the region from the realm’s foundation in c.420 until 547, the year of the first written reference to the castle. In that year the citadel was captured by the Anglo-Saxon ruler Ida of Bernicia (Beornice) and became Ida’s seat. It was briefly retaken by the Britons from his son Hussa during the war of 590 before being relieved later the same year.” It was his grandson who then gave it to his wife Bebba. This is where we get the early name Bebanburgh, the basis of its name today. The original fortification was destroyed by the Vikings in 993. “The Normans built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present one.” The castle is built on a core of basalt, a grey or black volcanic rock, recognisable by the geometric patterns it forms when it quickly cools on the earth’s surface, which means it is built on a very sure foundation. The beauty of this castle stands out for miles. Standing here, there is something so romantic about the fluid tall grass blowing in the breeze, and the strong structure, withstanding the onslaught of natures forces. You can take tours of this lovely old Castle, and the grounds are open to enjoy. The castle has it’s own preservation group and is self sustained. Images of the castle have been taken and published by English Heritage, though it has nothing else to do with the property. This is a HDR image combining 6 bracketed shots using Photomatix Pro for Macs. Slight adjustments in lighting and contrast were made using the enhanced details tool. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/22 / 1/30, 1/60, 1/80, 1/125, 1/250, 1/400 / ISO 125
