Il cargo attraversa il Mediterraneo come un pensiero lento, sospeso tra luce e acciaio. Ogni container è un frammento di mondo, un nodo invisibile della rete che unisce porti e destini.
The cargo ship crosses the Mediterranean like a slow thought, suspended between light and steel. Each container holds a fragment of the world, an invisible link in the network connecting ports and destinies.

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.

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.

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 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.
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.
