Do my eyes deceive me?
As a result of today's posting on POTD I thought it might be fun to share some things we've found which do not turn out to be as they seemed!
To get the ball rolling here are a couple of photos:
which I sent to our council highways department on 1st April with a report that someone had stolen our lamp post. I had a reply asking if I'd seen it the night before, I explained that I hadn't because it was dark!! I heard no more

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Nope. It's a little more obvious than that.... but not much

Re: Do my eyes deceive me?
Spot on
A close up of the entrance...
Allegedly it's connected to this.... but I couldn't possibly comment
That mountain is probably one of the most dangerous places I've ever been..... mainly because an electrical storm came up the valley below us and proceded to erupt on top of the mountain whilst we were there. The railings were buzzing / ringing and our hair was standing on end. Interesting. We were evacuated off ASAP, but that involved going down in the funicular railway - the electrics to which tripped out at least 20 times on the way down due to lightning strikes. We never doubted we'd get down to the bottom though - we had gravity on our side

Re: Do my eyes deceive me?
Some more from the same country:
An alpine shed ???
Nope. you're looking down the barrel of a gun
A rocky outcrop ??
Yes. Only that's a false front on it and behind that is a large gun
The building in the woods is quite possibly one like this i.e. not an alpine farmhouse

Re: Do my eyes deceive me?
Sounds like a truly hairy day on the mountain!! The secret gun installations point at somewhere in the former Yugoslavian area. Croatia or Bosnia maybe? Or is it old Russian front sites in East Germany? Where is it?

It's that we'll known warmongering nation ( ) and purveyor of cuckoo clocks and chocolate - Switzerland. They're armed to the hilt over there The only conclusion that we could come to is that they consider everybody is their enemy

Re: Do my eyes deceive me?
No, 'fraid not. They used to store them there, but ran out of room so had to put them somewhere else...... and I'm not allowed to tell you where

Does that mean that if we were told we'd have to eat our PC's?

I do have a few photos of maskirovka sites from East Germany - I'll post them tomorrow when I turn the grown-up computer back on
