Emergency housing in small metal containers for people whose homes were destroyed in the 2011 earthquake, Van region, Turkey.
There were 5 or 6 of these Container Cities dotted around the area. This was 12 months after the earthquake hit. The lack of adequate provision for those affected was a major social and political issue.

Son créateur est Vincent Ganivet, un artiste plasticien passé maître dans l'assemblage de briques, parpaings ou autres matériaux peu maniables. Dans ses oeuvres, celle ci est de loin ma préférée, grandiose, colorée et faisant preuve d'une certaine maitrise pour la mise en place de ces containers.
Ceci est tout à fait dans le thème des 500 ans du Havre, avec son port marchand.
I have driven by these stacked containers on Washington SR 20 near La Conner many times and finally stopped to photograph them. I was struck once again by how simple photography is in principle, but how challenging in practice. These containers are right beside a busy highway. I stopped at a nearby service station on the opposite side and walked over to take some pictures. I had envisioned a straight on shot, but found my route blocked by a ditch filled with thistles which I did not want to brave. I could have walked the long way around to the shoulder of the highway but I did not want my family to have to sit and wait for me for while I did that. Also, standing at the side of a busy highway and not watching the traffic or having someone else to watch it for you is not the best idea. So, with my POV somewhat constrained, I took a number of shots when the view was clear of vehicles. I can see in my mind's eye the image that I wanted to get. However, I am probably going to have to settle for this image since I am always on the way to somewhere else and often pressed for time when I pass by this spot.
Container transport is in international business, by its very nature. The standardized sizes mean that a similar container can fit very different sort of vehicles, with these two representing American and European examples.
Since I initially messed up the scale of the container, though, that didn't work with my original version of the American truck. So, I had to lengthen its trailer by four studs to get everything to fit properly.

Container 8x16 "Pool" opens like a book. On the one side you have the pool with with pump, filter, control panel, etc. under the stairs. On the other side there is the storage for the sunlounger, table, sunshade, lamps.

Container Ship full of goods that maybe should have been produced in North America. But that wouldn't be good for corporate profit now would it. Just sayin'.

Behind me a Hapag-Lloyd container boat. to the left of me in this picture is Fawley oil refinery, and to the far right is the Port of Southampton (or at least part of it). It is a beautiful November day and I had a wonderful femme time.
At one time the best place for me to see a Freightliner class 70 was Acton Bridge in Cheshire as they worked container trains on the Liverpool spur of the WCML to and from Garston and Ditton. Now it seems that they are more common on the Manchester container trains from Trafford Park which tend to be pretty colourful and lengthy trains! With just 8 Freightliner class 70s in service they are elusive beasts but today I caught 70002 on 4O29 Trafford Park to Southampton Maritime Container Terminal passing through Chelford station in Cheshire.
I had no tripod and had to shoot this landscape wide open (lol) in order to keep the iso reasonably low, yet at a shutter speed of 1/15s, and the shot still came out tack sharp, wow

That's how I normally call these cars, but the Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG is from a different league! Especially in this olive green color and the blacked-out windows, it looks really impressive. I found this car during my two-day trip to London.
