These are all awesome. I'm especially glad you could make the Defcon sign turn out- my photo is a bit too blurry due to the low lighting.

Thanks! It took a lot of work in post, but was worth it! Out of the 6 pics I took, this was the only one I could salvage anything out of. Here is the color version.

And a few of you.

Yep, as WIurbex said, that's me up there. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the hatch at the top was either rusted or frozen shut, so I couldn't access the roof. Considering the condition the rest of the structure was in, that was probably a good thing, safety wise.
