Thank you coogee! You have a wonderful film set there. I should really brush off my M6 and pop some film soon.
I believe that structure you are asking about is Fort Point. It was used to defend the bay of hostile ships in the mid 1800's after California became a state.

Thanks, the R6 is an occasional treat for the precise framing and DOF preview (and the lenses) but it's still M rangefinder all the way for me.
You should definitely throw a roll in that M6
The fort looks cool, can't say I'd ever noticed it in GG pictures previously. So big but so tiny in contrast to the bridge and with its own arch too.
The previous picture I posted was of one of two security guards at a defunct tungsten mine at Wiang Pa Pao, Chiang Rai Province in Thailand. In the 1980s a landslide annihilated the village of some 1,000 people at the foot of the mountain, burying alive many of them — 300 to 900 people, depending who you speak to — as well as destroying completely the village school and buddhist temple. Initially developed by a Swedish company, the mine was eventually relinquished as it was taken over by artisanal miners, whose uncontrolled activity caused the underground galleries to collapse and provoke the landslide. Below is a fuel tank truck at the mine site, where there is also a rusting ore beneficiation plant.
