From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Elbbrücken station (Elbe bridges station) is a public transit terminal station in Hamburg, (Germany) near the railway and road bridges called Elbbrücken leading over the Norderelbe. It was consisted of two elevated stops, one for the Hamburg U-Bahn underground, it was opened in December 7, 2018, and one for the Hamburg S-Bahn commuter trains with two tracks each, interlinked by a "skywalk". The station is the terminus of the U4 line of the U-Bahn and will be a new stop on the S3/S31 S-Bahn line.[1] It is built to facilitate a better accessibility of the new HafenCity quarter of Hamburg from the south.
Der Bahnhof Hamburg-Elbbrücken ist ein im Bau befindlicher Knotenpunkt der U-Bahn Hamburg und der S-Bahn Hamburg im Elbbrückenzentrum, einem Teilquartier der HafenCity am nördlichen Ende der Freihafenelbbrücke bzw. der Eisenbahnelbbrücke. Die Stationen werden von der Zweibrückenstraße unterquert. Zwischen beiden verlaufen mehrere Fernbahngleise sowie der Straßenzug Freihafenelbbrücke, über die eine Fußgängerbrücke, der sogenannte Skywalk, hinwegführen soll. Geplant ist damit eine ÖPNV-Erschließung der östlichen HafenCity, von Teilen Rothenburgsorts sowie der nördlichen Veddel.[1] Der U-Bahnhof des Knotenpunktes wurde am 6. Dezember 2018 eröffnet und ging am 7. Dezember 2018 in Betrieb.

Container Terminal Tollerort Hamburg Germany
From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
The container terminal CTT was opened in 1977 as the second container terminal after the container terminal Burchardkai, which had been growing since 1968, in the former port of Neuhof. The Port of Hamburg and Logistics (HHLA) took over the operation of the CTT in 1996. For expansion, the volcano port was filled between 1999 and 2003, so that the new terminal is now partly over the buried bunkers of the Second World War. As a result, two more berths could be set up for more in-depth ships. In 2008, a new freight yard was opened, which quintupled the capacity of the terminal.
Eröffnet wurde der Containerterminal CTT 1977 als zweites Containerterminal nach dem seit 1968 gewachsenen Containerterminal Burchardkai im damaligen Hafen Neuhof. Die Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA) übernahm den Betrieb des CTT im Jahr 1996. Zur Erweiterung wurde zwischen 1999 und 2003 der Vulkanhafen zugeschüttet, so dass der neue Terminal heute teilweise über den verschütteten U-Boot-Bunkern des Zweiten Weltkriegs steht. In der Folge konnten zwei weitere Liegeplätze für tiefergehende Schiffe eingerichtet werden. 2008 wurde ein neuer Güterbahnhof eröffnet, der die Kapazität des Terminals verfünffachte.
Sailing boat, Marina Cannes, French Riviera, France.
A boat is a sailboat (pieces of fabric), propelled by the wind. Historically, the boat was the first conveyance medium and long distance. Sailboats carrying goods, passengers, mail. They were used for fishing at sea, military and naval battles.
From the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century sailing propulsion gradually disappears for utility transport replaced by steamships and motor boats. Today, utility transport and fishing boats remain only in the less industrially developed countries.
The yachts are used for recreational purposes: competitive sailing and boating.

Take during an organized walk with some friends. We met, to take some pictures of the various under ground stations here in Munich.
Goal was to take pictures of several stations within Munic. There is even an dedicated group on flickr, www.flickr.com/groups/u-bahn-muenchen/
For this trip, we decided on line U2, starting from the final stop Feldmoching towards main station. This photo, taken at the station Feldmoching is under exposed about 2 steps in order to highlight the open doors with LED stripes at the newer car models in Munich. Additionally, the station itself was lit a little bit on the dark side. Also recognizable, the windows of the train are covered with foil or treated somehow, because there is little light transmitting from the inside of the car.

Anybody who has been to India will know that cars share the road with a variety of animals and modes of transportation like this picture illustrating the contrast beween ancient form of transport and modern form (motorbike) in Rajasthan, India
I like the way they adorn their camels. Look at the ankle bracelets and the necklaces.

The AWACS aircraft, built by Russians, is designed to detect, track and determine the origin of air and surface targets, as well as conduct surveillance, command, control and communications functions for command posts of automatic control systems, and give guidance in hitting air and surface targets. The site of this AWACS aircraft was a treat to the eyes. It looked magnificent with wings spread out against beautiful blue sky with white clouds. People who came for Air Force Day celebration weren't allowed near any aircraft. I had to manipulate my way to the aircraft to click this amazing Ultra Wide Shot!

Haworth is the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway’s principal intermediate station. It attracts visitors, like me, from around the world because from 1820 it was the home of Britain’s legendary author sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë. Their novels and poetry linked to their family history have captured the hearts and minds of millions of people..
Haworth was an important station from the moment the railway opened in 1867 and, once the preservationists stepped in to re-open the four and a-half mile branch line, they made Haworth their administration, locomotive, and engineering centre.
Since then, the railway has expanded its locomotive maintenance, repair, and restoration centre in what was the station’s goods and coal-handling yard prior to the line’s closure in 1962.
Today, the railway’s fleet of operational steam and diesel locomotives is based at Haworth where teams of dedicated staff and volunteers keep their charges in running order and maintain skills that might otherwise be lost to British industry. The railway offers guided tours around the locomotive centre so you can move up close and personal with the giants of steam. Just a word of warning the locomotive shed is a working environment with lots of oil, grease, and coal!
Most of the railway’s back-room staff are based in and around Haworth Station where its office space houses departments for train operations, marketing and sales and public relations while there is a fully stocked shop in the station building.
Street photography in Zurich, Switzerland. I really like this location with the rounded tunnel. The walking people in the diminishing perspective trough the tunnel is amazing.
