Steven Morgana’s “How Much Does Your Building Weigh”, via iamdanw.
Oddly I saw this being installed at a Shoreditch gallery when I was in London last May, and took a photo specifically to send to Dan. More than likely I never got around to posting it, but he seems to have found it anyway, which is good. Serendipity! Internet! &c

Two photographs by Greg White from his excellent portfolio. I could spend all day going through (and probably reposting) from here.

RAF Fylingdales, showing both the original 1960s radomes and the replacement early-1990s phased array radar building. The radomes were demolished once the newer radar was completed, around 1994.
More library photographs of Fylingdales (which I won’t post as they’re watermarked, I’ve posted quite enough radomes today, and because I’ve been cheeky with images already):
- Video and stills from Critical Past
- David Hurn’s photograph for Magnum
- A look inside the radome from Richard Baker
