This breathtaking aerial view captures a moment of tranquil grandeur over the Bay of Bengal near Patenga, Chattogram. The scene is dominated by the intense, radiant glow of the setting sun, which casts a vivid orange and gold hue across the entire frame. Hundreds of cargo and container ships are anchored in the calm, deep water, forming a dense pattern that stretches to the horizon. The sunlight hits the water's surface, creating a long, shimmering reflection that adds a dramatic, ethereal quality to the seascape. The combination of the fiery sky, the placid water, and the quiet, imposing presence of the ships conveys a powerful sense of both global commerce and natural serenity at dusk.
This eastbound intermodal is crossing the MacArthur bridge. It runs from Saint Louis MO across the Mississippi River in to the East Saint Louis, Illinois area. Thanks for catching a look.

A 1969 Subaru Samba Micro Transporter on display at the local Subaru dealership. Like most dealerships in Canada, the supply chain issues are putting a lot of stress on available inventory. When I was there yesterday, there were no new cars to buy. So all eyes were on this beauty!
See my previous post for a shot of the interior.
A vivid pink cargo ship, "ONE HARBOUR," adds a bold and colorful touch to Hamburg’s bustling port. Contrasting against the industrial backdrop of stacked shipping containers and cranes, this eye-catching vessel stands out as a symbol of modern maritime transport. With seagulls in flight and deep blue waters below, this scene captures the dynamic energy of international shipping and trade.
May we revel in the beauty of nature in 2008, and decide to do something about it. I am dedicated to reducing my carbon footprint, and I am committed to shifting a good portion of my academic research to the issue of sustainability. One idea I am working on is a way to provide people information about the carbon footprint of each product they buy. Globalization of our supply chains has been good for large multi-national businesses economically, but we don't think about what all that transportation does to our environment. Just as we have movements to eat locally, so too will we begin to see a trend to supply locally (again).

This image captures a traditional butcher diligently cutting raw meat in a local market. The scene showcases a hands-on approach to meat preparation, with the butcher using a large knife and a sturdy chopping block.

Solving 4 Major Economic Challenges With 1 Post! You’re Welcome ☺️- IMRAN™
My friend Lisa Baertlein at Reuters shared this news item. Apparently, there’s so much stuff now available to sell to consumers, the country is running out of warehouse space. I see this glass as neither half-empty nor half-full, but triply over-full. Here’s why.
Too much stuff heading to and already sitting in warehouses means claims of “supply chain issues” as an excuse for high prices are now invalid. Retailers don’t know what to do, while consumers are being gouged by oil companies, all while some are trying to talk the economy into a recession. Let’s fix all these together.
It would be foolish for retailers to spend on warehousing stuff — that would be out of style or obsolete in months anyway. Let’s encourage them to start selling at discounted prices — by not buying current inventory at inflated prices.
Boom, four problems solved. Retails worried about downturn, see sales climb. Warehouse shortage, over. Consumers, not buying due to inflated prices, start buying at normal prices again. Consumer spending continues or grows, recession averted. You’re welcome. 😊
Now, if someone would please impose a punitive tax on price-gouging energy companies’ obscene record new profits. It would reduce their ability & willingness to screw consumers every time because they achieve new records in profiteering.

Look what I brought home over lunchtime today.
There were a couple of factors contributing to the absolute madness of purchasing a fresh Christmas tree with ~4 weeks to go before the big day: FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), not liking long wait times, incoming inclement weather, and supply chain stress. The latter is mainly due to a large number of tree growers giving up the practise of farming these holiday beauties as a result of the 2008 recession, when the bottom of the market fell out. Apparently it takes a good 10-12 years to grow a tree big enough to sell to prospective buyers. The one atop my wife’s car is said to be about 2.5m (8 feet), and I am hopeful that most of it survives between now to the first week of January when it will be summarily tossed to the curb to be recycled into mulch.
This photo was taken at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the 2014 Winter season.
A majority of the work done at South Pole is maintaining the supplies (food, toilet paper, etc) and making sure that once the station reopens, that the correct items are flown in. A lot of the supplies are in this arch, behind the snow drift. Inside are rows of supplies and part of it is very much like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse scene. The image also shows some exhaust from the power plant, a small aurora and part of the milky way. Outside most of the buildings, red lights are lit to help maintain night vision.
