ROOSE COMMERCE PARK
History: This park was once occupied by a company transporting mined sand from the river.
In the 1960s this became an unsafe practice and buildings were handed over to the Waikato Rowing Club. The gazebo was built in the 1970s for a flower show at Claudelands and was moved to the riverside location. A large remnant from the original Union Bridge is located beside this structure.
Maaori significance: The Roose Commerce area was an important landing place used by Maaori (and early European settlers) in central Hamilton.
Use: This area is an integral part of the central city and is the home to clubs connected with the river: Waikato Rowing Club, Hamilton Hawks running club, and the Waikato Sport Fishing Club. Ferrybank and Roose Commerce Park connect to the walkway/cycleway network and provide a welcome break of green space in the central city. The area is surrounded by mixed use and medium density residential development

Back in 'Merica. But close enough to advertise gas price by the litre. But really, gallons of milk to the tenth of a penny?

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Commerce_Centre:
The International Commerce Centre is a 108-story, 484 m (1,588 ft) supertall skyscraper in West Kowloon, Hong Kong, resting atop the Elements mall and near two MTR Stations (Kowloon and Austin Station). It is the world's 13th tallest building by height, 10th tallest by number of floors, and Hong Kong's tallest, as well as the only building in the city with over 100 storeys. The official height is 484 m (1,588 ft), which includes the 6 m (20 ft) tall parapets on the roof. It was the world's 4th tallest building and 3rd in Asia when completed in 2010.

The south side of the building faces Victoria Harbour.
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - A Talatamaty et dans toute la Grande-île, si on a une maison qui donne sur une rue, on ouvre un commerce. C’est une obligation. Une pratique quasi-culturelle.
Talatamaty se trouve dans la proche périphérie de la capitale, Antananarivo. Une ville où le niveau de vie est un peu au-dessus de la moyenne nationale. Ça ne veut pas dire pour autant qu’on nage dans l’opulence. Il faut être raisonnable, Madagascar est quand même l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde.
Sur la photo, on peut identifier un commerce de bonne tenue car les morceaux de poulet et les poissons ne sont pas assaillis par les mouches. Et la jeune vendeuse à une chemise toute neuve. Chose rare à Madagascar. Sauf quand on va à la messe, tout le monde revêt ses habits du dimanche.
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - In Talatamaty and throughout the Big Island, if you have a house that overlooks a street, you open a business. It is an obligation. A quasi-cultural practice.
Talatamaty is located on the outskirts of the capital, Antananarivo. A city where the standard of living is a little above the national average. That doesn’t mean we’re swimming in opulence, however. We must be reasonable, Madagascar is still one of the poorest countries in the world.
In the photo, we can identify a well-kept business because the pieces of chicken and fish are not assailed by flies. And the young saleswoman has a brand new shirt. A rare thing in Madagascar. Except when we go to mass, everyone wears their Sunday best.
Completed in 1985, Commerce Place is an office building that rises 88 metres above Burrard and West Hastings in downtown Vancouver. Finished in a modernist style, its highly reflective light-blue glass facade produces one of the most stunning exteriors in the city. The building was designed by Waisman Dewar Grout Carter Inc.
The waning afternoon sunlight silhouettes BNSF intermodal S-LBEALT1-09A (Long Beach, CA to Alliance, TX) coming up from the ports as it heads east through Hobart yard.
Like a giant above you and you as the strolling shadow commerce of glass is all around you.
Would also like to mention that this is a early morning sun glow that crosses paths on both of these high risers.Cool or what !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul.... Darrell
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !
Now, officially finished (Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.) The last details are the rotating deck cannon and the lifeboats. I've wanted to build a Confederate sidewheel steamer since I built the Ironclad USS Cairo a couple of years back, and when I found the reference material, I knew it was time. The only problem is it still needs a companion vessel to spar with!
Launceston is a city that prides itself on restrained 19th century architecture. But then in the 1970s developers got the upper hand and ugly was in. Thank goodness heritage laws have since been introduced to protect our treasures, but we are still left with eyesores like this.
But honestly? They are a photographer's dream in settings like this.
