The Abandoned Cold War Listening Station



On a hill called Teufelsberg (Devil's Mountain) near Berlin, an abandoned facility complete with "radar domes" stands. It was once used as a listening station for the US to intercept Soviet communications, and then abandoned when West and East Berlin were reunited. It was built over top the remains of a Nazi war college. Exploring this station is difficult, as it is deteriorating. One of the dangers is an open 10-story elevator shaft!

I've been there in June and exploration is not as difficult as it may seem. It's a great place with interesting stories. I've shot a few 360° images, feel free to use:

Glad to see King James wasn't a bad sport about it. Pro or not, someone that has practised obscure trickshots to the point of perfection are hard to beat by even the most skilled of players.

"Oh, well if dunking were allowed... " guys. Its HORSE. There's no dunking. Besides, when you're that tall, dunking isn't difficult in the least. You're just putting a ball into a hoop once you jump to meet it.

Who says you can't dunk in horse? I've never heard such a rule.

And I'm guessing Kalb can't dunk. Which means if James dunked it every time, he would have won. Obviously that wouldn't be fair since Kalb has physical limitations preventing him from dunking.

But yeah, Kalb trained himself to be a pro-HORSE player, and he won pretty easily. Were they to play a game of 1-on-1, I think James would probably win.

Underhand from the free throw line? Over the backboard? Come on who hasn't done some of those shots? When I was in my 20's I could hit about seven out of ten from half court. Had I challanged a pro and did better at that one task would that have made me a better player? Of course not. Lebron is a phenomenal player but this wasn't his day at this particular event.
