I don't know how to explain this phenomenon, but a container ship out on the North Sea appears to be reflected - and both the ship and the reflection seem to be floating above the horizon. Seen off the Essex coast, taken with a 500mm lens, but this is cropped to show about a quarter of the whole frame. D500_76216.NEF
3. Temporary Container Shelter
Four 20-foot containers make up the two-storey temporary shelter unit LiNX, which Dublin-based industrial designer Richard Barnwall had originally intended for construction workers use. However, by adapting the interiors, one can easily imagine its use as temporary or even permanent housing units.

Maasvlakte 2 is a major civil engineering project in the Netherlands, constructing a new port and supporting infrastructure on reclaimed land adjoining the Maasvlakte. Approximately 2000 hectares will be reclaimed, behind a 4 km dike; approximately 1000 hectares will be used by ports related industries. It is an extension of the Port of Rotterdam.

Container terminal operators APM Terminals and Rotterdam World Gateway began construction of their terminals in 2012. The APM terminal opened in April 2015. Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) is the main competitor for European Container Terminals (ECT), currently the biggest operator of a container terminal in Rotterdam. RWG's terminal includes a 20-meter deep dock and its own railroad station, and would be capable of handling 2.35 million containers annually.

A small container train heading up the grade towards Malta, IL Modern intermodal shipping containers allow goods to be put into them at the point of manufacture, trucked to a port, put on a ship, shipped across the Pacific Ocean, and then hauled by container trains from Western USA ports to destinations clear across the country. This without any of the cargo inside being touched during this process, as it would have been many many times in years gone by

Houses made from cargo containers, right down the street from my house! These are so cool. And they say that the power bill shouldn't get over $40/month. I believe these are the ones made from four 8-by-32 foot shipping containers ("one-trippers" emptied of cargo at American docks) that will be assembled into a nearly 1,300-square-foot home.
