Today shipping day for several ranches in this area. Unfortunately there was snow, wind and cold temperatures today too. It was still a nice day with neighbors coming early to help gather and sort the cows, and also to haul them to town.

This is the day that the ranchers work for all year long, taking care of their cows and working to keep the calves alive and healthy throughout the year to make sure they get enough of a paycheck to make it through another year. Ranchers don't get rich but they ranch because they love their animals, the land and their way of life.

Maybe you've seen the movie The Shipping News based on the novel of the same name by E. Annie Proulx of Brokeback Mountain fame. Well, this house in northern Newfoundland has been restored by Proulx and is called Wavey's House ... after Wavey Prowse, played by Julianne Moore in the movie. It's actually right next door to Quoyle's House ... Quoyle, played by Kevin Spacey in the movie.

Anyway, no great loss if you didn't see the movie ... or read the book. A piece of utter garbage written by a woman who did this province and its people a grave disservice. Actually, I hope you didn't read it.

Shot #2:

Continuing £5 wonder lens I found another handheld shot taken with the SMC Pentax-F 35-80mm, looking right out into the Severn estuary - this one screamed to be B&W which is also a little unusual for me, especially for a mid day shot.

Amsterdam - De Ruijterkade.

Restored Shipping Agency Office building, 1919, Amsterdam School style of architecture, archtiect: Guillaume La Croix.

Het ‘Minangkabause Huis’ of Naco-gebouwtje werd in 1919 door G.F. La Croix (1877-1923) ontworpen als kantoor en aanlegsteiger voor de voormalige rederij Koppe. Van 1960 tot 2004 was het in gebruik als kantoor van de scheepvaartafdeling van de NACO, de Noordhollandsche AutoCar Onderneming.

Om gewicht te besparen en geen ruimte op de steiger te verspelen, koos de architect voor een houten gebouw op palen. In tegenstelling tot wat de naam doet vermoeden lijkt de vorm van dit gebouw eerder geïnspireerd op de bouwkunst van de Batakkers die rond het Tobameer wonen, dan op die van de Minangkabauwers, een andere Sumatraanse stam. Duidelijk is in ieder geval de invloed van de traditionele Indische architectuur, hoewel ook de invloed van houten huizen op Marken zichtbaar is. Marken was een van de bestemmingen van de rederij, en La Croix was betrokken bij de wederopbouw van het eiland na de overstroming van 1916.

Het gebouwtje werd in 2004 tijdelijk verplaatst naar Zaanstad i.v.m. de bouw van het nieuwe busstation bij CS. Stadsherstel nam het pand in 2016 over van busmaatschappij Connexxion (voortgekomen uit o.a. de Naco). Het is op een werf opgeknapt, en eind 2021 teruggeplaatst aan de kade. Het staat sindsdien bij de Oostertoegang.

Amsterdam, Het Scheepvaarthuis.

Open Monumentendagen / Heritage Days.

Enclosed stained-glass ceiling above the main staircase showing typical nautical themes.

The Shipping House (Dutch: Scheepvaarthuis) is a building (1916) on the western tip of the Waalseiland near Amsterdam harbour that is one of the top 100 Dutch heritage sites and generally regarded as the first true example of the Amsterdam School, a style characterised by "expressive dynamism, lavish ornamentation and colourful embellishments".

It was the headquarters of six leading Amsterdam shipping companies (Wikipedia).

It is a hotel nowadays.
