World War II radar station B-71 on the Northern California coast near Klamath. These radar structures were disguised as farmhouses.These were taken on a foggy evening and it was quite spooky being there with no one around. Total silence except for the sound of the ocean far below. Tamron 17-28/2.8

Thank you Joshua, much appreciated.
I am now using Photoshop 2023 for that.
Had to get used to their new user interface.
In particular as I had not made gifs for a while.
But I got back into it pretty quickly.
I am enjoying a lot all your Namibia and other African images.
What a fantastic experience you must have had on that trip.
Truly stunning images you created. Thanks.
Contax 100/3.5. Gyantse in Central Tibet was one of five sites left relatively undamaged in the Cultural Revolution. Built in the early 1400s by the Princes of Gyantse, you can compare my image with one taken early last century, shown below. Most of the buildings missing were colleges - dorms for the clergy. The magical Kumbum chorten and the adjacent Pelkhor Chode complex remain intact.

Looks like a happy version of Butte, Montana.
Well, except locals of Montana didn't have to slave for monks and clergy for centuries. I will skip comparison on blocking access to education in Montana.
Contax 35-70/3.4. As the highest patch of flat ground in the world, Upper Tibet has this unreal light. It averages 4600 metres in altitude. 99% of the terrestrial Earth that lies above an elevation of 4000 metres is in Tibet. The highway to Xinjiang has over 130 kilometres of its roadway above 5000 metres, where you have just 55% of the oxygen pressure at sea level - fewer molecules of oxygen to breathe. It's the wild west, it's like nowhere else, and it may as well be another planet.
Tsaparang: 15th century temple unknown to the West until 1930s.
Montser: fields of golden stubble amid endless bitumen, no traffic at all.
