26th June 2015 - A view from on top of the 'Atlantic Conveyor's' bridge showing the various aspects of the Stevedoring process that goes on at the Seaforth Container terminal. I used to do the invoicing for that little lot...
BNSF ES44AC 6225 with the help of six roster mates approaches the west end of Hobart yard with a lengthy SLBELPC1-29 coming up from the ports.
An eastbound BNSF stack train from the ports ducks underneath the 710 freeway making its way through Hobart Yard at sunset.

... prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
(Malachi 3:10)
Only a few times a year does the sun set close enough to the BNSF mainline where you can photograph it and an eastbound train in the same frame, as was the case with BNSF 7268 East hauling 80 loads on intermodal Q LACATG6 22L past the Commerce Metrolink station platform.
BNSF 3682 leads empty well cars into Lever Brothers while a light power move comes up behind on its way to Commerce Diesel for service.
Westbound ethanol loads sit at Hobart waiting on clearance from Watson yard before continuing onto their final destination.
Under the bluish glow of LED street lights, BNSF GP50 3170 working on the LAJ switches cuts of tank cars at E yard while holding up evening traffic on Slauson Ave.
Дом торговли, построенный по проекту архитектора Валентина Ежова, и названый в народе «Дом с помпоном».
Это был советский долгострой. Строительство здания велось в 1968—1981 годы. Высота 25-этажного здания составляет 93,7 метров. По тем временам, самое высокое здание в Киеве.
Киевляне его сразу невзлюбили и воспринимали как насмешку над суровой действительностью. Учитывая отсутствие товаров и продуктов в магазинах, тут же возник анекдот: «шар на доме торговли говорит о том, что в магазинах «хоть шаром покати». Киевский художник Валерий Акопов написал картину под названием «Вторжение».
Looks like the sign didn't want to be left out ;-)
Il me semble que le panneau voulait absolument être dans la photo ;-)
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?

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.
BNSF’s 4th Rivera local in the care of ATSF lettered GP60 No. 194 carefully makes its way down the rickety rails on one of many decrepit spurs radiating off the San Bernardino Sub like spider webs throughout the City of Commerce.
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.
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.
International Commerce Centre compared with other tallest buildings in Asia.
The south side of the building faces Victoria Harbour.
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
