London Calling...

Arguably the westernmost phone booths in North America.  Taken at Dutch Harbor.

London Calling...

Possibly the westernmost phone booths in the United States, possibly North America.
Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
Anybody got a dime?

My response to all of the crocodile teared gun-grabbers who cynically exploit a tragedy for political purposes.

Cloudbreak

Taken with a Minolta Weather-matic, dual fixed focus 35mm. camera & Fuji Provia 100 film, hand held.
This was atop a hill outside of Dutch Harbor where there were WWII lookouts and gun emplacements.

Lookout Post for ships that never came

The view out of the lookout post atop a hill at Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
This lookout is part of a larger shore gun battery that was defending Dutch Harbor during WWII. The remnants of the facility are still up on the hill and it's now a historical site. Today, the facility lies in decay. There would have been far worse places to have been assigned to during the war.

Dutch was bombed in June of 1942 by the Japanese. It was the only aerial bombing of a city on the North American continent during the war. Sixteen people were killed and numerous others were wounded.
