Sunset over the ocean from atop an abandoned missje bunker. This is a preserved historic Nike missle site. Early in the Cold War when bombers were still a viable method of nuclear delivery, Nike missle sites were missioned to take out a bomber attack. As missle delivery became the best delivery method, the sites were closed down. Abandonned Nike installations remain scattered around major metro areas and this one has been preserved for it's historic value.
The planet Earth has proven to be too limiting for our awesome community of panorama photographers. We're getting an increasing number of submissions that depict locations either not on Earth (like Mars, the Moon, and Outer Space in general) or do not realistically represent a geographic location on Earth (either because they have too many special effects or are computer generated) and hence don't strictly qualify for our Panoramic World project.But many of these panoramas are extremely beautiful or popular of both.So, in order to accommodate our esteemed photographers and the huge audience that they attract to 360Cities with their panoramas, we've created a new section (we call it an "area") called "Out of this World" for panoramas like these.Don't let the fact that these panoramas are being placed at the Earth's South Pole fool you - we had to put them somewhere in order not to interfere with our Panoramic World.Welcome aboard on a journey "Out of this World".
