Stark & cold. Reminds me of something you would see on the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. These were built to intimidate & they did their job well.
I can imagine a guard sitting up there, watching over everything as a lonely bird flies overhead...

Sorry, I wax poetic today.
It doesn't seem very high. A couple of modern video cameras shown.
Makes me want to build a house right next to it. Maybe an entire neighborhood. Not...
What imposing and stark shot. Nicely done.

It does look like there is a modern vid camera on the left.
Lonely and depressing isnt it.!?
A stark reminder on a hill of days gone by.
if its a satellite, does it pick up HBO?
Heh! HBO! How about Showtime and Starz too! :D
I want that at the end of my driveway. Half my subdivision would run for the hills.
Nicely centered shot - looks good in b&w.
Scary.
