Through the rectangular window

Not your average view and not your average location.

This is the view across the shingle spit of Orford Ness to the Black Beacon.

Orford Ness has a rich military history, having been used for secret military testing and experiments in the 20th century. During both World Wars and the Cold War, it was a key site for testing radar technology, aerial bombing, and atomic weapons.

The window is in one of the watch towers but what it was watching is largely known.

I love the atmosphere of the Ness and am happy I decided to shoot the day in black and white, even though it was a gloriously sunny day.

Thanks for your comment!
