“Man's mind is not a container to be filled but rather a fire to be kindled.”

Container Terminal Tollerort Hamburg Germany
From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
The container terminal CTT was opened in 1977 as the second container terminal after the container terminal Burchardkai, which had been growing since 1968, in the former port of Neuhof. The Port of Hamburg and Logistics (HHLA) took over the operation of the CTT in 1996. For expansion, the volcano port was filled between 1999 and 2003, so that the new terminal is now partly over the buried bunkers of the Second World War. As a result, two more berths could be set up for more in-depth ships. In 2008, a new freight yard was opened, which quintupled the capacity of the terminal.
Eröffnet wurde der Containerterminal CTT 1977 als zweites Containerterminal nach dem seit 1968 gewachsenen Containerterminal Burchardkai im damaligen Hafen Neuhof. Die Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA) übernahm den Betrieb des CTT im Jahr 1996. Zur Erweiterung wurde zwischen 1999 und 2003 der Vulkanhafen zugeschüttet, so dass der neue Terminal heute teilweise über den verschütteten U-Boot-Bunkern des Zweiten Weltkriegs steht. In der Folge konnten zwei weitere Liegeplätze für tiefergehende Schiffe eingerichtet werden. 2008 wurde ein neuer Güterbahnhof eröffnet, der die Kapazität des Terminals verfünffachte.
Elbe Philharmonic Hall / Elbphilharmonie
"still" in Hamburg, Germany
In 2007, the construction of this concert hall was scheduled to be finished by 2010 with an estimated cost of €241 million ...
Up to now, construction work is scheduled to end in October 2016 at a cost of €789 million, with an announced opening date of 12 January 2017.
But possibly Charlotta B is delivering this building to Dubai,
where they probably can still afford these high costs :-))
Der Hamburger Hafen zeigt sich an dem Abend von seiner schönsten Seite. Perfekter kann ein Sonnenuntergang kaum sein.

The port of Hamburg shows its most beautiful side in the evening. A sunset can not be more perfect.

La E652.125 in testa a un treno container percorre le tortuose curve della linea lenta dei Giovi in discesa verso Genova.
In foto il treno transita presso la fermata di Isola del Cantone e mescola i suoi colori con quelli delle case del paesino.
A tour in the port of Antwerp lead me to photograph a few container trains towards the Krommenhoek and Kalishoek yards. A very interesting one was this one from Railtraxx, with containers from - I presume - Athus and with destination Kalishoek. Railtraxx was renting "goldie" 266 117 at the time, which I was happy to catch when it was rounding one of the final turns before arriving at its destination.
More containers to be seen in this new post on railscapes.blog.

Found this tableau at Meeting Creek, a little town in central Alberta, behind their main railroad museum building.
