a photo from an urbex journey through an old abandoned Norad radar base near Armstrong Ontario..

I have no idea what this old armchair was doing here on the ground floor of the metal radar tower .. but this is exactly where I found it!

The juxtaposition between the comfortable chair and cold forbidding metal walls struck me as oddly compelling.

Is there some tread left on those tires, or is it just like throwing a hot dog down the hallway? Family Guy
:iconwb-skinner:
yes.. the room was in the smallest of the three main radar towers.. painted like a navy ship and built to last. The only light shone through the open door and made the chair really stand out :)

You were right amazing lighting and colors and the chair is almost unnecessary (it's great too) but the magnificent walls of texture and color.........wow!

Personally I'd have titled it "63mi" like the sign on the floor says. Love the contrast of the colours in the walls and the chair.
