Old Loran-C Station

This will be my first set posted on here. I'm still very much a beginner with photography. Some of these I like and others could definitely be improved. I noticed I'm getting a good deal of "noise" in my shots. I've been shooting in JPEG, that may be my problem.

Last weekend I decided to check out an abandoned Loran listening station in the next county. It was fun but I didn't find anything too exciting. I was worried about trespassing on gov't property but nothing happened. I pulled up on my bike, parked next to a few government vehicles and strolled around to a back trail. Acting like I was supposed to be there worked this time!

Unfortunately both buildings were locked so I had to knock around outside. There were a lot of neat warning signs. Any constructive criticism regarding the photography would be greatly appreciated. Some of the composition is not what I thought it would be but I want to get it right in the camera before I make a habit of trying to fix all my stuff in post.

Thanks! I forgot to mention I was using a polarized filter. I got the blue to come out a bit more with some of those shots.

Noise can be fixed with lower ISO or post-pro.. Word of advice, this site isn't as abandoned as you think... Just be careful if you go back here.

Are the electronics all still there, or is that part locked up?

Everything was locked. It wasn't very exciting because of that. I know it's not completely abandoned but the Loran site itself seems to be. Since there's so much hiking in that area I was ready to nonchalantly explain that I was hiking and found it. There were a few cameras, not sure if they're still operable though.
