I do like container growing. And I love my sempervivums and sedums and alpine plants. ...maybe I have a premonition of a retirement project.

On the morning of March 24th, I swung by the BNSF Calwa Yard once more and was greeted by a northbound stack train throttling up and out of the yard just as I arrived. Traffic was starting to back up at Church Ave, but luckily not bad enough to make a hard left on East Ave and catch up to the headend at Sunmaid Crossing. I quickly hopped out of the car and grabbed some shots of the power rolling under the signal bridge just south of the diamond with one of the area's water towers looming in the background to the left. If one zooms in to the right and looks down the tracks, the nose of one of the yard jobs can be seen which continued to block Church Ave as the train switched cars around the main yard. I tried to catch up with my main target once more, but alas the train was too fast and the streets of Fresno were a bit busy once entering the downtown district.
Another banger sunset from Hamburg, Germany...
I was able to capture the last light in this 4 min long exposure.
I was on my way back home (on an airport bus travelling at some 80km/hr) and was stunned by this view of the container terminal. Glad I've got a marvelous little photo-taking-machine by my side...

The yellow box on the left is, I think, what is called repoussé, or “embossed” metal, and it’s got to be brass, judging by the color, or perhaps an alloy with a lot of brass in it. It is very heavy and was made in the 1880s. It comes from my grandmother. The round thing in the center is a unusual lacquered wood and ceramic (the blueish part on top) Chinese box for opium and is supposedly 17th century. I was told once by a curator at the Musée Guimet in Paris that it is museum-caliber.
The other round thing, the one on the right, is extremely heavy (almost 3 kilos) and comes from Nepal. I reckon it is bronze. It is a set of measuring cups that fit into one another for storage like Russian dolls.
In the back, the black and gold thing is a kintsugi piece done by my wife. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken items of pottery or china with a lacquer called urushi, mixed with powdered gold. Thus, what was broken is made whole again, and owing to its scars, more valuable than it was before —very symbolically Japanese.
The rusty, larger box is a personal lockbox from the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance. It is made of iron. It is essentially a small safe for jewellery and other precious personal belongings. It opens with a key but the location of the lock is very cleverly concealed. It has lost its front overlapping part, unfortunately, and so isn’t worth much, even though it is a period piece.
And as I felt the need for an item of color to top it off, the little round orange thing is a cardboard box from Hermès, in which they sell the small silk scarves they call “twillies”.
I only upload a small sized version here, but the full-size 8,300-pixel TIFF file has details that blow you away! This Z-mount 105 macro really is something!

After Sefton Park we headed to Princes Park.
The container is used to store Park stuff, and rather than leaving it as just a plain container they decided to make it something that people would want to look at.
It was a surprise to us, and we took quite a few photos.
It is (all sides decorated) a homage to impressionism and was created by local artist Alan Murray and local children with involvement from Granby Toxeth Development Trust.
