Details - Abandoned Navy Barracks (Part 4)

Here are the last photos from my tour into the abandoned barracks in the Town of Strande, near my hometown Kiel.
The day after my wife and I went there, the local newspaper had as tory that the town's finance committee has given the green light for the demolition, now the local counsil has to approve. The barracks will probably be torn down before this year is over.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to go in there for a final documentation of the building and the premises.

In the Darkness - Abandoned Navy Barracks (Part 3)

Over finding and processing the photos from the old neo-baroque mansion and my visit to the abandoned air force school, I almost forgot to continue the series about the abandoned navy barracks.
Of course, it has a bunker!
I was glad to have rubber boots with me, the whole thing is almost one foot under water...and it is standing water, there were mosquitos everywhere.
I really like bunkers, especially the shelters that are a couple of flights of stairs down from the fortified basement...

Windows - Abandoned Navy Barracks (Part 2)

As I've said, the location itself was not that spectatular, typical barracks.
Here's the next set of pictures.
I really liked the windows, because the look to the outside really is something. The Town of Strande, in which this location lies, is located right at the sea and time has made the trees and plants around the buildings grow, so it has a pretty surreal feeling to it.

Abandoned Navy Barracks

I have known about this place for a long time, because it is really close to my home town and right next to a "famous" light house in the region, the "Lighthouse Bülk"
The beach was/is frequently used by teenagers for beach partys and I can even remember one particular party when the soldiers living there kindly helped us out by providing electricity for our music.
For more than ten years, the teenagers have now had to find their electricity elsewhere because after the end of the cold war, there was no more use for this particular small military base.
The buildings used to be the living quarters for a navy transport batallion, typical barracks, two buildings with living rooms, offices, a sheltered basement and a relatively small bomb shelter.

Here's the first set of photos.
I haven't been doing many HDR photos recently because I didn't think that the purpose of documentation was adequately served by this method, but I found different ways of HDR processing that yielded pretty cool results, I think.
