Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, terminal 2E. Brand new and really light and airy. Definitely an improvement on the rest of the airport (Terminal 2B in particular is especially dire...)
4.9.13
This 173-acre terminal has 4,780 linear feet (1,457m) of berthing space on 40 feet (12.2m) of deepwater.
The terminal handles containerized and breakbulk cargoes, imported automobiles and liquid bulk commodities such as turpentine and vegetable oil. Breakbulk cargoes include steel, lumber and paper, and a variety of frozen and chilled goods. Talleyrand is equipped with four container cranes, on-dock rail and 160,000 square feet of transit shed space capable of handling cargo in refrigerated, freezer or ambient conditions. Additionally, a 553,000-square foot warehouse stores a variety of cargoes, including rolls of fine and specialty papers, magazine papers and newsprint.
The Talleyrand terminal also offers two 50-LT capacity rubber tired gantry cranes, both of which straddle four rail spurs totaling 4,800 linear feet (1,463 m). Talleyrand's on-dock rail facilities are run by Talleyrand Terminal Railroad, Inc., which provides direct switching service for Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads. The terminal is only 25 minutes from Florida East Coast Railroad's intermodal ramp, and is conveniently located within minutes of interstates I-95 and I-10.

Grape Ape arrived today. He didn't call ahead, and had to wait around the bus terminal for someone to come pick him up.
Every so often something different came in on the Chessie pool trains and in April 1976 a GE U30B visited Bethlehem engine terminal.

Cincinnati's magnificent art deco style railroad terminal building, now the home of Cincinnati Museum Center, was dedicated on March 31, 1933. Union Terminal was first proposed in the early part of the 20th century as a solution to the chaotic existing railroad system, which consisted of seven lines operating out of five stations. Initial planning began in the early 1900s, but floods, inter-railroad squabbling and World War I delayed the plan until the late 1920s.
New York architects Alfred Fellheimer and Steward Wagner, recognized leaders in the planning of urban railway stations, were hired to design the Union Terminal building. Their first designs were classical in style until Paul Phillipe Cret, a friend of Steward Wagner, was engaged as a consultant and influenced the art deco style of the building. Construction began in August 1929 and was completed March 31, 1933.
Cincinnati Union Terminal stands on a prominent location one mile northwest of the center of the city on land that once was Lincoln Park. Visitors approach the massive, arched, limestone and glass east facade of the building from Western Avenue and Ezzard Charles Drive through a quarter-mile plaza. The building is flanked on either side by curving wings. An illuminated fountain, cascade and pool are in the center foreground. On either side of the main doors, bas-relief figures designed by Maxfield Keck symbolize Commerce and Transportation.
During World War II, Cincinnati Union Terminal experienced unprecedented success. As a major transfer point for soldiers, the station served as many as 20,000 passengers a day. But in the 1950s, the sudden expansion of interstates and airlines led to the rapid decline of the railroad industry. By the early 1970s, only two passenger trains a day passed through Union Terminal, and in 1972, passenger train service was discontinued.
During the mid-1980s, the administrators of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and the Cincinnati Historical Society developed plans for a joint museum project. The spaciousness of Union Terminal, coupled with its history and design, made it the top choice as a location for the project. In 1986, Hamilton County voters approved a $33 million bond issue for the restoration of the terminal. The State of Ohio and the City of Cincinnati also contributed to the restoration with grants of $8 million and $3 million, respectively. In addition, more that 3,000 Cincinnati individuals, corporations and foundations also contributed to the building's renovation.
In November 1990, Cincinnati Union Terminal reopened as the Cincinnati Museum Center, an educational and cultural complex featuring the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History, the Cincinnati Historical Society Museum and Library, and the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater. On July 29, 1991, passenger train service was officially restored to the terminal. Amtrak, which had been using a small station on River Road as a stop on its Washington, D.C.-Chicago route, moved its service to the renovated Union Terminal.

JFK's Terminal 6, the former National Airlines Sundrome, occupied at the time by Pan Am and United Air Lines. Since this photo was taken, jetBlue used the building for nearly ten years and then built a large new facility for itself behind Terminal 5, to the right of the photo. In 2010 the Port Authority announced that Terminal6 would be demolished to allow jetBlue to expand its terminal and provide international arrivals with Customs.

Malaysia new airport, called KLIA2 (Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2), it's replacing the LCCT (Low-Cost Carrier Terminal). KLIA2 Airport started operations on 2 May 2014 and all flight operations at LCCT were moved to KLIA by 9 May 2014. KLIA2 is built to cater for the explosive growth in low cost travel in the region.
The modern design of KLIA2 airport will make you feel stand inside the luxury building, all the facilities built with high technology feature. It's also integrated with the public transport like terminal bus, taxi service and ERL (Express Rail Link), is the terminal train from airport to the KL Sentral. When I come back home, I just buy the bus ticket to my hometown, it's very convenient and save a lot of time.
The Airport is the place which the people separate and reunion, happiness and sadness were happening everyday here. Each time I come here because I back home and leave home. It's a gateway to going far from your current location, miraculous place. - Max Compose Photography Blog

Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. From Wikipedia:
"The Dixie Terminal buildings in Cincinnati, Ohio were completed in 1921 and served as streetcar terminal, stock exchange and office building in downtown Cincinnati. They were designed by Cincinnati architect Frederick W. Garber's Garber & Woodward firm. The main building includes an "Adamesque barrel-vaulted concourse" and "Rookwood Architectural Faience entry arch". The Rookwood tiles were manufactured by the local Rookwood Pottery Company.
Located at Fourth and Walnut Streets, the Terminal was constructed of reinforced concrete and finished in gray brick, Bedford limestone, and granite. It includes two structures: the 4-story south building extending to Third Street, where streetcars entered and left, and the "handsome" 10-story north building, housing railroad ticket agencies, the Cincinnati Stock Exchange, administrative offices of the Cincinnati Street Railway Company, commercial offices and shops.
A long and elaborate arcade runs through from main entrance through the building; shops were located alongside. The building included marble floors, Bottincino marble wainscot, metal trimmings, and "costly brightly decorated ceilings, with fanciful medallions showing little children riding on the backs of various animals".
The terminal was used for bus service after streetcar service ceased in the 1950s. Buses arriving from northern Kentucky crossed the Roebling Suspension Bridge and took ramps from the bridge into the terminal. The ramps were removed and the bus service ceased using the terminal in 1998 . The Cincinnati Stock Exchange closed its physical trading floor in 1976 after becoming an all electronic stock trading exchange but remained in the building until relocating from Cincinnati to Chicago in 1995. It has been renamed the National Stock Exchange".
The final shot of the holiday: waiting at the top of the car park at Terminal 3 for our ride to arrive. It was delayed due to traffic on the M25.
A chance to look at the sprawl of the airport and stretch our legs fore one last leg of the journey home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All good things come to an end.
And it was time to come home.
We woke at just before seven, with our flight leaving at half eleven, giving us four hours to pack our overnight stuff, have breakfast and drive the 6km to the airport.
Not even we could get lost in that short distance, could we?
We had showers, got dressed, and one last sweep round the room, we went downstairs to load the car and have breakfast. I left behind my small camera bag, bought in Portland, Oregon, in 2015, and has been a great buy. But the stitching is failing now, and is uncomfortable to wear, so that'll save room.
Also left behind were my old walking shoes, too worn out now to be of much use except in a town, certainly not in a muddy wood or on a chalk down.
We had huge amounts of room.
After breakfast we followed the sat nav to the main road, then to the next junction and within just 2km of the airport, I took the wrong turn.
I will say in my defence, matching what was on the screen to what I saw out of the car was difficult, but we found ourselves in an area of industrial units, and the only way out to the airport was blocked by roadworks.
But there was a diversion.
After a few minutes of doubt, we emerged at the airport, found the hire car return and were there.
Phew.
We dropped the keys off, and went to the terminal, joining the queue at the British Airways desk. Two hours before flight time, the desks opened and we began to move, getting to the front in about 20 minutes.
No delay at security, turn left to go through immigration to have our passports stamped. And we were at the gate.
We used the last of the change to buy some snacks, then waited, watching people, at which airports offer the best people watching.
The flight was called, but we hold back. I mean we have allocated seats, so why worry? Other than to have an overhead space for my cameras. Some carry on bags are so big now they really are suitcases, just to avoid the checking in, so the race is always on to secure a space for your oversized bag or case.
We wait to get on, then I find a space for my bag down the plane, but those behind me struggle, but they all stow their bags, the engines start and the air con starts pumping. It was going to be 32 in Valencia, and was already very warm.
Doors closed, the plane pushed back, and that was that. A short taxi to the runway, engines roar, and we leap off down the runway, jumping into the air, circling low over the city before flying off across the sea.
The flight was uneventful, flying mostly above or through cloud.
Two hours later, we were above England, and on approach over Windsor Castle, preparations of the coronation are well under way, with a huge stage being set up and a village of marquees already put up. And it is the taxpayer who is footing the bill, not Charlie.
Oh no.
We land, and have to wait for a space to disembark, and when we do, we were two of the last off. But not to worry as the taxi driver was held up in traffic, so we stood on the top floor of the car park, in defiance of the signs saying no spotting, watching aircraft come and go.
The driver arrived, as we loaded the car he had a gasper, then it was all in the cab for the last leg of the journey home.
Traffic was heavy, but we only got held up in one place, and me sitting in the back seat alternated between checking the football scores and snoozing.
Either way the journey home flew, and soon we were in Kent. and getting nearer home with every mile.
At least it was a sunny day, if not warm. !3 degrees in Dover, 31 in Valencia!
We get home, there was a mountain of mail to sort through, four loads of washing to do, and someone had to go to Tesco.
I went..
It was mad, but with a scanner I was able to get round fairly quickly, and got home by half five.
We put the shopping away, and I prepare a meal similar to what we had in Spain: salad, ham, olives and wine. Lots of bread.
But we were pooped, really.
And on the tellybox, Norwich crashed to another defeat to add to the sense of gloom. One win in ten games now.
Bed at nine, chilly to be back home. But good to be in our own bed.

Dixie Terminal was the Cincinnati Trust where Charlie goes to find out the whereabouts of the $3 million trust fund that he felt he was entitled to. The building is absolutely beautiful and looks very much like the way it was depicted in the movie. In the movie it served as a bank with clerks and desks, while in reality it was at one time a streetcar terminal and is now an office space but it hasn’t lost its grandeur. It was very exciting walking the same path that Charlie does as he approached the desk clerk. My excitement was short lived, though, when I saw the view (or lack thereof) from the window at the end of the corridor. In the movie this window offers a spectacular view of the Ohio River and the Roebling Suspension Bridge, which was the prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge. That view is now totally blocked by the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. I’ve been to the Freedom Center before and they now possess this wonderful view. Sadly the Dixie Terminal now overlooks the concrete facade of the museum. I was so disappointed because that view, as seen in the movie, was really wonderful and could have been seen all the way from the main entrance. As I was walking around the main corridor watching the people who worked there go about their business I wondered if any of them realized that they were working in a building that was not only beautiful but a location for such an important cinematic event.

A nighttime view of the Terminal Arcade building in downtown Terre Haute, Indiana. This was the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern's- and later (the original) Indiana Railroad's- terminal for interurban services radiating from the city. The terminal was built at an odd angle to the street, slightly askew. Cars stopped and loaded passengers and express/baggage in the street. From the 1890s until a couple years into the Great Depression, interurban lines ran north to Clinton and south to Sullivan from Terre Haute, along with the busy route to Indianapolis. For a while, THI&E's 'Highlander', a limited-stop service from the Indianapolis Traction Terminal, served this station. Upon absorbtion of the THI&E into Samuel Insull's Indiana Railroad in the early '30s, the branch lines from here were abandoned, leaving the line to Indianapolis to soldier on until 1940. The next year, the Indiana Railroad would give up operations for good.
Fortunately, and despite numerous threats of demolition over the years, the Terminal Arcade has survived intact, and is now a bar.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (IATA: PVG, ICAO: ZSPD) (SSE: 600009) (simplified Chinese: 上海浦东国际机场; traditional Chinese: 上海浦東國際機場; pinyin: Shànghǎi Pǔdōng Guójì Jīchǎng) is a major aviation hub in Asia, particularly in the East Asian region, and is the primary international airport serving Shanghai of the People's Republic of China. Located about 30 kilometres (19 miles) east of the city centre, it occupies a 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) site adjacent to the coastline in the eastern edge of Pudong District within the boundaries of the Shanghai Municipality.
The airport is the main hub for China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines, and a major international hub for Air China. Pudong Airport is organised around two main passenger terminals, flanked on both sides by three parallel runways. Current airport masterplans call for the building of a third passenger terminal, a satellite terminal and two additional runways by 2015, raising its capacity from the current 60 million passengers annually to 80 million, along with the ability to handle six million tonnes of air freight.[3] A station for the Shanghai Maglev Train is sited between the passenger terminals, providing the world's first commercial high-speed maglev service to downtown Pudong in 7 minutes and 20 seconds. The airport is open 24 hours, one of only a few Chinese airports to be so.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport is a fast-growing hub for both passenger and cargo traffic. With 3,227,914 metric tonnes handled in 2010, the airport is the third busiest airport in the world in terms of freight traffic. Pudong Airport also served a total of 40.6 million passengers in 2010, making it the third busiest airport in mainland China and the 20th busiest in the world. Passenger and cargo traffic both grew by more than 27% in 2010 at the airport. (Wikipedia)
