They are turning an old hanger on a closed Marine base into a camera obscura. I've read about how to do this with a shoebox but never tried it.

IRVINE, Calif. ? Walk into the massive air hangar and the first thing you notice is an oppressive darkness broken only by a tiny beam of light from a gumball-sized hole in the wall.
Then, as the eye adjusts, an upside-down image emerges on the opposite wall that is startling in its clarity ? a dilapidated air traffic control tower, an overgrown runway and palm trees clustered amid rolling hills.
