I have posted a few of the photos I made this summer while doing field work at Point Lonely, Alaska.  Point Lonely is one of the now abandoned cold war era long range radar sites for spotting incoming Soviet nukes. Now, most these site sit abandoned and await cleanup and demolition by the Air Force.  Point Lonely is visually compelling.  The old military hardware, radar dishes and the radar dome rusting and dormant on the remote tundra calls to mind both the nearly forgotten cold war era and images of the megalithic statues of Easter Islan.  I was glad that I had an opportunity to go to this amazing place.  Enjoy the photos and I hope to post more this week along with another gallery of black and white nature photography. Thanks!
