Nowadays it is a bird sanctuary, but the World War II the island was home to a heavily fortified anti aircraft battery.The bunkers were destroyed after the war but the remnants remain. Dismantling and removing those would effectively destroy the island for good

I wonder what it will look like 70 years from now!

Good that it's put to better use...even the worst of history cannot be removed...I agree with Walter & Buz. V

Nice photo of an interesting remnant of the war. Agree with Walter. Nature has a way of healing. V

Interesting documentary shot. Looks like the plant life will eventually cover the old bunkers. "V"
