Towering Structures
I have been running the equivalent of 1.5 times the Earth’s circumference, and today I decided to take pictures of the towering structures I encountered. On the first picture I captured an Air Surveillance Radar (LSTAR) on a bunker just like the ones on the many Radar masts.
▼
At Stenhaga Farm I counted six identical silos two of which I show you here with the shadow of the trees on them.
▼
When I see this lone windmill below, I can’t but think of the story of Don Quixote who thought these were giants with waving arms, trying to kill him. I better stay clear of the “waving arms” just to be sure.
▼
The masts of the Ski-lift carrying the carts are a wonderful sight against the snowy backdrop. Just for a minute the sounds of the harvester nearby silenced in my mind!
▼
At the ruins of the huge Iboholmen Castle I shot this picture of the remains of the once so powerful castle towers.
▼
On all my runs I counted eighteen Churches, but this one at night in a fiery blaze really makes a nice picture.
▼
Of six Lighthouses to choose from, I chose the Karl-Erik Lighthouse, because at the time of this picture the lighting was simply beautiful.
▼
Three factory chimneys on IGA factory facility, normally emitting the foulest stench but now they no longer work and look like pillars of wisdom.
▼
The next industrial looking chimneys made me wonder what they were. I thought maybe cooling towers, because they were so wide.
▼
I covered Power-lines in a different hike route. I took this picture because here the powerline with double masts meets with the single one.
▼
This wooden lookout tower has a nice triangle base shape design, there are two of these type on Himfjäll Island and two in the Farmland region, one of which is in a Sovjet camp.
▼
The tall Radar masts like the one on the picture, are easy to spot, but are also easy to erroneously dismiss them as ones you have already seen. I found eleven masts so far. Some are tethered and some are firmly anchored on solid ground or buildings.
▼
The steel Mining Tower is my favorite. It has that industrial look with broad steel steps. All the way up it makes a good sniper spot, if it wasn’t located in a wooded terrain.
▼
This Beauty is a Water Tower of which I found four. This one in Himarvet and the one in Östervik have a red door in the center column (locked). The one near Hjortqvarns Sågverk, strangely enough, has no door. The assault base update gave us the fourth one located in the Myrdalen area. All of them have a radio mast on top. Making them one of the highest man made structures in GZ.
▼
Himarvet
Ostervik suburb Haga
Hjortqvarns Sågverk
I almost forgot the gate and tower of Ålnästet ruins. They are a sight for sore eyes.
▼
I’ll end this run with a picture of two tall and slender factory chimneys reaching pointless for the skies, and becoming nothing more than a resting place for birds.

Weapon Caches and Ammo Storage
When you run around the game world you’re bound to come across these colorful concrete cubes. Some have discrete colors and are perfectly hidden in the environment, but some like this Red one in the Farmlands, seems to want you to know it’s here for you to take what you need.
▼
On the next photo (which I took in the Farmlands as well), you see this light colored cube which had me thinking for a while what color it was. I’m still not sure, but I settled on Ivory.
▼
This modest green one I found in the Archipelago region.
▼
Another green one, but locked and blocked which I found in the South Coast region.
▼
Another ‘Förråd Kub’ I saw on my run through the Farmlands Region had a bluish complexion and would be quite easily spotted in day time, but in the misty nights it would not.
▼
In the North Coast region I found another glorious red one. I really love to take photos of them when the skies are clear.
▼
In the Marshlands region I found a new color, Anthracite Black.
▼
This Ivory colored one is located in the Forest Region, as you might have guessed looking at the photo.
▼
If you happen to find this one on Archipelago, you might as well get the key for all these small storages. It’s right there.
▼
Wow, again another Ivory one. This color seem to be having the upper hand. This one can be found in the Mountain Region.
▼
And then this nice blue one in the Forest Region sticks out like a sore blue thumb.
▼
This white one on Himfjäll truely adapted to the snowy scenery.
▼
Here I had to take the photo from a distance, since there was some nasty radiation emanating on that platform. Another Ivory one on Himfjäll Island.
▼
I quickly snapped this Ivory Cube in the sunny South Coast Region, before the clouds would spoil the light. One of the few without a fence.
▼
Did I tell you that I like the color red? Well it’s the last red one I have found so far. This one is next to a Radar mast in the South Coast Region. This is the type without a roof, and instead it has crane hooks.
▼
Not sure when this black colored Vapenkassun was added in the South Coast, but it was before “Dark Skies”. The door is stuck, but we can crawl in, however there is no loot in there.
▼
Ok, back on Himfjäll again with this Cube in Green, door and all. Somebody or something broke down the fence. I didn’t do it.
▼
Another white concrete förråd building on snowy Himfjäll Island. Let’s stock up on ammo.
▼
With all these Ivory concrete blocks we could build an Ivory Tower.
▼
Ivory cube. Hard to miss.
▼
Adding a second cube from Marshland region. This one is not black, but it’s the ninth ivory.
▼
Number 20 is a beautiful lone white concrete model in the South Coast region, which seem to be floating on air.
▼
In the Mountain Region I found this white vault inside a bunker, it has rails go to it.
▼
In the Mountain Region I also found these white twin vaults. Close to the previous one.
I bet I might have missed more of these in other bunkers.
▼
In the next Farmland Bunker I found blue triplets cubes. They are the numbers 24, 25 and 26 in this list. Not very good photographic conditions though due to the gas.
▼
In a bunker in the North Coast Region I found two white ammo vaults, number 27 and 28. Luckily no gas in this area.
▼
After the New Dawn update I found this ransacked Cube in North Coast just south of Hagaboda

Hermelinen Command bunker also has that weapons vault and if my memory serves me correct, Tosberga Fort complex also has those inside the bunker.

One of the bunker photos is in Torsberga Fort. I will check Hermelinen bunker. Thanks.

These hike routes are awesome! Take a nice calm break, in the beautiful world, after killing thousands.

Also that gas makes the photo look really good. I quite like the gas one.
