About the photo
The blue containers you see in the picture are packed with ship building parts that are send to shipyards all over the world. The containers are old used shipping containers that are spray-painted in Damen Blue.
After a container reaches its destination it is almost never returned to Gorinchem, because it is cheaper to leave it. Containers are re-used at their destination for storage or are sold and eventually turn out as accommodations for shops or sometimes even homes.
For Damen Shipyards and Verebus Engineering, Patrick Andriessen from NAPNAM is helping to author the Green Passports (Inventory of Hazardous Materials) for several ships.
Hapag-Lloyd Savannah Express meeting us as we sail away from Southampton. One of the biggest Hapag-Lloyd container ships :
After the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011, the authorities found a wide range of uses for shipping containers: as barriers to protect houses, vehicles and pedestrians from falling rocks and debris; as supports for badly damaged buildings; as shelter spaces for workers in the CBD; as support structures for temporary sheds.
In de nacht van 1 op 2 januari 2019 verloor het containerschip MSC Zoe na het ronden van de VL5 boei ten noorden van Vlieland tot aan de Duitse Waddeneilanden in totaal 277 zeecontainers.
Drie van deze containers spoelden op Vlieland aan.
Een container lag even bewesten het badhuis, de twee andere, nog aan elkaar gekoppeld, lagen nabij dam 17.
In de ochtend van 3 januari begon de berging van de drie containers.
Deze foto is een van het beeldverslag van de aanspoeling van de drie containers, en de inhoud van een of meer van deze containers.
De container nabij het badhuis was gevuld met overalls voor eenmalig gebruik, van de twee andere was een gevuld met Bellis Throw dekentjes van 140 x 200 cm, de andere met stoelen in diverse soorten en maten.
Op het strand werden verder rode, blauwe, gele en zwarte kinderjasjes gevonden, variërend van jasjes voor baby’s tot zwarte jasjes tot de maat 170.
In de namiddag van 3 januari begon het opruimen van het strand en dit kreeg de volgende dag nog een vervolg.
Ook op de andere eilanden spoelden containers en inhoud van containers aan.
Purple Part I.
As I sit and think about what I want to write about today I am lacking for a theme photo. I want to take a photo of something purple but nothing around me catches my eye or is even the color purple. Then it dawns on me, my shaving gel's container has purple on it, so I take some photos of that for lack of finding anything purple other than a purple shirt… come to find my memory stick for the camera is purple, it was closer than I thought, just out of view.
On October 20, 2010 people around the country (and world) were asked to wear purple in honor of 6 gay boys who committed suicide in the past weeks and months. I honored them by wearing purple that day along with many many other people no matter what their sexual orientation is. What a great way to remember these tragedies.
The color purple on the pride flag represents spirit and it was felt that this would best honor them. The Pride Flag was created by Gilbert Baker, a friend of Harvey Milk's in 1978 (I was 5). It has been used ever since its debut in San Francisco at the Freedom Day Parade. Originally it bared 8 strips Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Blue, and Purple but later shed 2 of the stripes; Pink and Turquoise.
Bullying has been in the headlines for over a decade as a growing concern in American schools; private and public and not just in kindergarten – High school but spilling over into colleges. This is something that should no longer be tolerated in any school and swift punishments need to be handed out until the problem is solved… but will that really put a stop to bullying? I don't think it will unfortunately, but there has to be some way of combating the issue…
Bullying goes into a wide range of things and isn't limited to being called a fag or queer… It can spread to anything anyone feels isn't ‘normal’ or isn't what they are i.e. people that are poor, overweight, under weight, have a big nose, didn't ‘mature’ yet and the list goes on. Name calling though seems harmless enough leaves some pretty deep scars and I know this from experience…
Part 1, Memories that are not unique to just me, but still haunt me to this day.
I was bullied through middle school and high school. My parents were not wealthy and growing up in a wealthy town [Not sure what the average income was back when I lived there, but as of 2007 it was roughly between $245,844 - $296,821] I got bullied for the clothes I wore and the lack of money my family had… I would love to say I was so mature that it didn't matter, but it did… I wanted to be like my other classmates and that even rolled over into my sexuality…
I was gay and frankly I knew it. I knew I liked other boys since I was probably 5 and only one other person knew that (well that I told anyway) and that was my best friend Brian. Brian and I had been friends since kindergarten and in the 4th grade he and I started messing around… innocent enough really but when we started getting bullied about how much time we spent together and how we must be fags Brian ended our friendship and relationship at the begging of our 8th grade year. Not only did he end it all, but he joined in and started bullying me with my classmates.
I wanted to die, I lost any hope that life would get better and every single day I hated going to school and I hated myself. I hated myself for being different and I couldn't understand why this was happening to me. Was I being punished for something I had done? Did I not go to church enough? Was I not loving enough to my family, was I just simply evil? As the weeks went by… these thoughts raced through my head more and more. I tried to change the way I felt about girls and went to a couple of dances with ‘dates' which was not easy to do when everyone is calling you a fag and pushing you in the hallways at school. I managed to get two dates to two different dances that year and not that it meant I had to marry them or even do anything like kiss them, there was simply nothing there… no feelings, no thoughts other than me trying not to check out the other boys dressed up and thinking how cute they looked..........
This truck and trailer desgin are closely based on the Lego Dragster Transporter 60151, but turned into a part of my post apocalyptic convoy, including a minigun in the container. The container is the same design as shown previously in my container village and could also be combined with this one.

These containers were given to me by my daughter Racheal. I love them, the lids really lock well.
Well after seeing Swag's Shipping Containers I really wanted to make some of my own, cause large shipping containers would make fantastic cover for Large Mecha.
BUT, there were a few things I wanted to do differently, mainly that i wanted them to interlock nicely to aid in stacking. I also changed things a touch so there 4 rows of the Grille bricks(compared to Swag's 3 rows) but they are still each the same height(5 bricks and 2 plates)
Something else I want to try and do is see if I can find a nice way of making a container thats holds a Mecha scale weapon and splits open to let a mecha grab it.
Comes in 9 Colors;
Black
White
Light Bley
Dark Bley
Blue
Black
Green
Yellow
Red
And maybe even a couple more if you try for some cool 2 tone stuff. I just wish the Grille bricks came in Orange D:
