Original – Royal Falkland Islands Police headquarters station located in Stanley, East Falkland. First constructed in 1873 (with additions over time), it was severely damaged by a (British) missile strike during the 1982 Falklands Conflict. Completely refurbished in 2008, the prison (smaller building to the left) was added in 2009.

Reason: High quality, high EV. Only police station in the Falkland Islands. (Replacement of similar image, not in the article for 7 days).

Comment - It's nice, but I feel as though having a bit more space under the sidewalk and the whole building (right side) would result in a better picture. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...agreed, if only I had the space to give... -Godot13 (talk) 05:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I keep saying it's worth trying a panorama or two. Another three frames would have given you plenty of room to work with. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:25, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understood... This would have been a difficult trip to bring any extra gear...--Godot13 (talk) 08:38, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

True! But handheld works in the worst circumstances. The Great Mosque of Central Java FP was shot handheld, from atop a chair, through a series of bars. In a cave. With a box of scraps. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:19, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good, and the relative inaccessibility of the Falklands excuses the fairly minor issues Crisco raises. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Cuerden (talk • contribs) 20:41, 15 February 2016‎ (UTC)[reply]
