Kodak Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rochester, New York: "Kodak's industrial waste water is treated at this plant in the beautiful Genesee River Valley before making its way into Lake Ontario. Local lore has it that film can be developed in this water."


Light Hydrocarbon Pipeline, Port Arthur, Texas: "A garden of more than 30 of these efficient signs warn you not to dig in this oil refining area."


US Air Force TARS, Marfa, Texas: "This blimp is a TARS--'tethered Aerostat-Borne Radar Station'--used to spot small aircraft trying to smuggle material into the United States from Mexico. Some say it monitors the mysterious Marfa lights, an unexplained phenomenon alternately attributed to extra-terrestrial space craft (UFO's) and automobile headlights. The truth is out there."

The Limits of Fun: Infrastructure at the Edge of Disney World

(High tension mouse ears / photo: Igor Vamos)
"The original Disney park, in Anaheim, California, was found to be well fortified against its urban surroundings. It is ringed by a six lane roadway serving numerous hotels, restaurants, and gas stations. Inside the roadway, a fifteen foot chain link fence topped with barbed wire guards against unpaid visitations. A thick hedge of a similar height prevents gawkers from peering into the service areas of the park.

The fence, though tall, and wired with vibration sensors, is not insurmountable. The response time to intrusion appears to be under 30 seconds.

Unlike Disneyland's heavily fenced and surveilled perimeter, the border of Disney World, in central Florida, is secured through more passive methods. A relatively remote location in a swampy landscape eliminates the need for a full perimeter fence. The area is difficult to approach by any means other than the park's own highway system, and flooded drainage ditches surround much of the 28,000 acre park complex."
