A small shack, surrounded by a chain-link fence and razor wire, with various antennas and masts, on a small pier at the edge of a rocky shoreline.

Captured with the Rodenstock 40mm/4.0 HR-Digaron-W lens (@ f/6.3), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50), Cambo 1250 Camera.This humble, somewhat dilapidated shelter, a few miles south of SFO airport, once housed a medium wave aviation beacon (NDB). It currently hosts a variety of aviation surveillance sensors. Its location is also waypoint on the way to SFO runway 28R.This kind of infrastructure, integral to so much in the modern world, is often nearly invisible, yet also heroic.

    @mattblaze for a moment my brain was misunderstanding the shape as a glass cube rather than mash fencing, which made for a very striking, but non-existant, piece of architecture.
