Towering almost 200 feet above the fields east of
Elizabeth City, NC one of
four massive concrete column pairs that remain from the world's largest wooden building. Completed in 1943, Airdock #2 was part of the
Weeksville Naval Air Station for lighter than air ships, better known as blimps. This hanger which was destroyed by fire in 1995 had 7.5 acres under its giant wooden roof. The slightly smaller but still huge
Airdock #1 remains nearby and today supports commercial air ships. Canon 40D, 1/60s, f/16, ISO 100, Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom at 17mm with a Singh-Ray LB warming polarizer.
