not on any tourist lists so had to track it down myself with some difficulty, it used to be apartments for usaid ghouls (not the us embassy), now just a nondescript commercial/residential building in a random renamed street with a bunch of people selling food and shit outside
couldnt find a way to the top, and theres no signage or anything about it or anything to indicate it exists, except someone (presumably a salty mayo) has apparently recently stuck up a couple of things up the top saying "landing zone" and "the last mission". actually the last mission was called "operation frequent wind" lol
anyway just wanted to share a historical location of one of my favourite pictures of losers running away
:uncle-ho-2: :amerikkka:
this is awesome! love these travel photos. do you have any closer shots from a similar angle to the original photo? I'd love to photoshop the original into it.
edit: example of what I have in mind
unfortunately not, its fairly high up (so you cant see anything from the street itself) and theres an enormous office tower building right opposite, fortunately there was a little park so i could actually get a picture without it being blocked by buildings but this was the best angle i got
not what you were after but heres a better picture of the building itself (dunno why its showing up sideways)
oooh, this is cool, thanks!! I hope you're having a great trip.
:soviet-heart:
iirc hexbear rips out all the metadata from images when they're uploaded. I just screenshot pics then upload those to to keep the orientation correct.
thanks! not exactly a holiday, partner managed to get a work trip so im tagging along "working from home" which is why im online on hexbear pretending to work rather than seeing the sights right now, but hey her company is footing the bill for most of it and i can still go see shit in afternoons/weekends so im not complaining
and thankyou comrade hexbear for protecting my metadata
