The Walls
Libellés : 35mm, pentax spotmatic, slide film
This was the German submarine base in France during the war occupation. The walls were so thick that even bombs couldn't destroy it.

spooky
wow!
love the coldness of the atmosphere... quite gloomy, but beautiful.
yes i am. are you an architecture student?
these structures are unbelievable... where is this more exactly?
I was once watching this show, which was talking about another similar building in Germany.
It was a army base, on the outskirts of Berlin (I think). The walls were incredibly thick, and the entire building was this really dense structure of reinforced steel rods.
After Germany lost World War II, and the Allied forces moved in, they bombarded the building for *weeks*, to try and crumble it. They even tried to blow it up with dynamites. None of that affected the building's structure in the slightest, except some chunks of concrete being blown off.
They still don't bother with trying to demolish the building. Instead, they just half-heartedly buried it :)
Germans are so damn good in construction!
