In response to this postCaptured with the Rodenstock 40mm/4.0 HR-Digaron-W lens (@ f/6.3), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50), Cambo 1250 Camera.
This humble, somewhat dilapidated shelter, a few miles south of SFO airport, once housed a medium wave aviation beacon (NDB). It currently hosts a variety of aviation surveillance sensors. Its location is also waypoint on the way to SFO runway 28R.
This kind of infrastructure, integral to so much in the modern world, is often invisible if you don't know where to look for it.
Infrastructure is often quietly heroic, and deserves to be seen that way.

@mattblaze I love this kind of thing. There's so much in the underlying infrastructure of the world that people take for granted, not because they don't want to but because they don't have a need to consider in order to live their lives.
But for those of us who do feel compelled to know more about how the world works, this stuff is so fascinating.
