TITLE: AT-AT

You would be forgiven for believing you have entered a zone patrolled by the All Terrain Armored Transport vehicles used by the Imperial Forces in Star Wars during the 1970-80's. That certainly was my impression on arrival of these imposing architectural structures...and I wasn't too far off. These anti-aircraft defence stations were discreetly built in stealth during WWII to help protect the United Kingdom from air-attacks. Now if AT-AT units were to approach in a fictional encounter, these armoured concrete forts would pose a significant threat to their AT-AT challengers.

AUTHOR: Costas Kariolis (United Kingdom)

Outdoor & Travel Photographer.

Seascapes, landscapes and urban environments are where I find my photographic inspiration. I am drawn to water and fascinated with interpreting movement, light as well as rugged and varied environments. My photographic work is described as authentic and minimalist. I am passionate about sustainability and the natural health benefits of the great outdoors.
