That's not as flat as your usual survey territory out on the Cape. Applying Google-Fu to the mystery, I find that you are on the border between Italy and Slovenia. Say "hi" to the lady having a bad hair day for me.

That’s correct, Peter

The photo is at the site of a World War I Italian entrenchment. Top of a mountain. The thought of lugging all of the equipment, supplies etc up to that site is mind boggling.

Most of the Italian structures appear to be in Slovenia

Very cool!

Question, is that an app that you're using in the last photo? If so, which one?

Hi Travis, the App is called "theodolite"

The pics were on a recent family vacation to Croatia and Slovenia.  Awesome area.
