Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
These are apartments down in the Noyo Harbor district. I just like the cars in front of the lines of the building.

Just returned home from last weeks Chicago visit. Still a bit suffering jetlag and some blisters on my feet, but overall, a great week and also overall fortunable weather with all included. This one is showing the Chicago board of trade at the end of Lasalle Street, taken from the bridge with that same name. All have a great start into this new week. Thanks, Udo.

Spotted these two, a fluffy House Finch, on the left, and a Pine Siskin, on the right, grabbing a quick bite at this small feeder. They looked like they were trading secrets, probably where to find the best feeders in the neighborhood.
All kinds of birds love this particular blend of seed called "Blazing Hot Blend," a pepper treated blend to deter the squirrels and it really works.
The Protestant Church of St. Katharinen, which dates back to the 13th century, with its 115 meter high tower cannot be overlooked when you are traveling in the Hafencity in Hamburg.
It is considered the oldest upright building in Hamburg that is still in use.
Due to its proximity to the harbor, it is considered the sailors' church. That is why she also bears the name of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of sailors and merchants.
Since Hamburg was one of Europe's centers for trade and shipping at the time, this makes perfect sense.
Further to the left in the background you can see the church of St. Nikolai, which was destroyed in the Second World War and of which only the tower remains today as a memorial.
Die aus dem 13. Jarhundert stammende evangelische Kirche St. Katharinen ist mit ihrem 115 Metern hohen Turm t nicht zu übersehen, wenn Ihr in der Hafencity in Hamburg unterwegs seid.
Sie gilt als das älteste aufrecht stehende Gebäude von Hamburg, welches noch immer in Funkton ist.
Auf Grund ihrer Nähe zum Hafen gilt sie als die Kirche der Seeleute. Darum träge sie auch den Namen der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien dem Schutzpatron der Schiffer und Kaufleute.
Da Hamburg zur damaligen Zeit eines der europäischen Zentren für Handel und Schiffahrt war, macht das absolut Sinn.
Weiter links im Hintergrund seht Ihr noch die Kirche St. Nikolai, die allerdings im 2. Weltkrieg zerstört wurde und von der heute nur noch der Turm als Mahnmal erhalten ist.

Along Highway 550 in New Mexico there are several abandoned trading posts. Prior to World War 2 trading posts were very important to the Navajo. The posts were the sources of goods sold to and from the Navajo and served as social centers. The vehicle was provided by generative fill.
The Poertland Trading Post is packed with odds and ends from all around the floating worlds. Airships come from far and wide to trade goods, services, and stories.

This MOC was built in a week between the end of a summer internship and the beginning of Brickfair. It was about 80% complete when I packed it up, it arrived 30% complete. Much time at Brickfair was spent building this, and some parts needed to complete it were bought at Brickfair.
It was built to be part of the Floating Rocks Of Asgard display, put together by Nathaniel.
Evan did the fabulous mist and background editing, he's awesome.

I had to smile when I saw this little squirrel perched on the edge of this Goodie Bowl. Most squirrels will just reach over the edge to grab the nuts inside, but not this little rascal.
He jumped up there like he'd done it a thousand times, and started munching away. He also kept a close eye on those two birdies. Almost like they were all trading Goodie Bowl secrets. Gossiping about who was the messiest eater, the glutton, the one with the best manners, etc. My bet is this little squirrel might fall under "the cutest" category.

A nice and colourful Fokker 100 of Trade Air at Schiphol Airport. We'll be seeing this beauty more often this summer season.
We found a child's drink cup at the dog park yesterday at the top of a very tall wooden pole. I assume that was done so it could be found if anyone came back looking for it. My grandson wanted it badly. He threw his friend Beev at it, trying to knock it off the top (Beev is a stuffed animal). He got it on the FIRST try! Wanting to support the purpose it was most likely left there in the first place, I put it back, explaining why. Not happy, he tried to do knock it down again. In addition to Beev, he threw his toy cars, rocks, anything he could find. He did that for a while (see video posted after this photo). My grandson is not verbal yet, but he made a proposal. He said he wanted to trade his cars for the prized cup at the top (through his own way of communicating in sounds, gestures). I hope whoever comes back for the cup won't mind finding cars instead.
