An early morning walk through the forest,as the sun rises, shafts of light find a way through the tree canopy and illuminate the forest floor,as if some alien space craft was about to land.
Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
recently, i camped in an old-growth forest. there’s deep wisdom in the trees. and the forest floor is soft, fertile, and inviting. we humans have so much to learn.
In the solitude of the Autumn woods, where the trickling of water echoes softly against the blanket of leaves that now litter the forest floor, I take in Fall's beauty with all my senses.
I focus on a single leaf as it shifts and tumbles in the air, making its way to join the many others already fallen, a brief journey here to there.
I am reminded of the brevity of my tiny life, to hang in the breeze of existence for a brief moment more and savor its unpredictable whims.
Ah, such a mosaic we will make, you and I, against the forest floor.
Meßberghof - Hamburg
(1924 - 1938 Ballinhaus)
Das Gebäude wurde von 1922 bis 1924 nach Entwürfen der Architekten Hans und Oskar Gerson für die Aktiengesellschaft für In- und Auslandsunternehmungen errichtet und nach dem 1918 verstorbenen Hamburger Reeder Albert Ballin benannt.
The building was built from 1922 to 1924 based on designs by the architects Hans and Oskar Gerson for the stock corporation for domestic and foreign companies and was named after the Hamburg shipowner Albert Ballin, who died in 1918.
The museum is home to world-famous and unique objects, such as the 29,500-year-old Venus of Willendorf, the Steller’s sea cow that became extinct over 200 years ago, and enormous dinosaur skeletons.

52 floors and 1 1/4 mile-it was an interesting trail hike but best was only encountering 4 other people.
From our autumnal walk at Trenchford/Tottiford reservoir last Saturday. I just noticed after the conversion to mono that the tiny mushroom sits so well against the dark patch in the background. Although sacrificing the autumnal colours the mono version had a lot more interest to me.

I switched a year ago to a calibrated IPS monitor for looking at these.
I was amazed by the color and beauty on the floor of Bryce Canyon, May, 2025. The bits of contrast that one gets from above are right down here. This is a cool part of the Bryce Canyon dazzle.
a little random patch of our sun room floor.
The grain of the wood and the scratches and wear of the humans that tread on it.
Something particularly homely, I think, about a warm and gently worn floor.

Lots of rain and snow lately in Northern California so decided to go for some color and sunshine. The picture shows some of the peaks in Zion National Park taken from the canyon floor. The Virgin River cuts through the photo in the foreground.
Welcome to March 2018 everyone.

The forest floor now reveals the autumn colours and fallen seed pods.Side by side the seeds of the Horse Chestnut and the Sweet Chestnut. The conkers from the Horse Chestnut always remind me of playing conkers at school,many happy times. This tradition is no longer allowed in schools due to safety concerns.The sweet chestnuts, I always associate with the Christmas song roasting by an open fire.
Taken from the 7th floor of IUB university 1 year ago during capturing whole building structure for cctv.
The total building is Architect by a former student of same university, and yet this one is the best building as varsity/house from all building/house i have seen. the whole building is a master Idea, and I learned so many points of future buildings in this Architectural design.
But i cannot share the diagram, its not my right to do so
