Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell

In 1863 the first sugar factory was opened in Halfweg. After a few years, this sugar factory closed its doors, after which the N.V. Sugar Factory Holland settled there not much later. The factory was located on the site that includes the former Gemeenlandshuis Swanenburg. In 1919, the Sugar Factory Holland was transferred to the Central Sugar Company. This is how the name “CSM” came about. From the mid-1970s, CSM grew into a large concern. The sugar activities became less important. In 1992 the factory in Halfweg was closed. Due to the closure, approximately 110,000 m² of land surface was freed up for redevelopment.
In 2000 the site was sold to a project developer. The two silos of the sugar factory, where the sugar and molasses used to be stored, have been converted into modern offices and show areas. The two fifty-metre-high sugar silos, together with the lime kiln, form the landmarks of SugarCity. The silos are clad on the outside with metal panels with coloured lamps on them, which give a light show on the two towers in the evenings.
Schiphol
SugarCity is situated almost directly in line with on the runways of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. This causes one of the external safety contours (10-6) to lie over one of the towers. The potential risk is such that it has been discussed for a long time whether so many people are allowed to be there and/or work there. A compromise was found. The towers were not allowed to be developed to the maximum with offices and workstations. Hence the show areas. This reduces the number of people present at any time, and as such the reduces the number of potential deaths if an aircraft would hit the tower(s).
Technical stuff
I’ve been offline for some time. This was due to a number of reasons. Not in the least caused by rather demanding work. Next to that I had numerous photography assignments like weddings, a cover photo for a book, family shoots and inaugural lecture at the University of Leiden. All great fun. But also time-consuming. However, I didn't want to let 2022 pass quietly, either. So I'll try to upload some pictures in the coming remaining days.
This fine art is the first. This ND long exposure is a 200ISO, f5.0, 181sec at 16 mils shot with my Fujifilm X-T3. Post-production was done with Lightroom. Finally, I added the copyright signs (in Photoshop). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.
a friend asked me to take this photo for him ^^'

San Jon, New Mexico
This was taken in the same abandoned garage as the last shot. It's always quite interesting to see how long things just seem to remain as they were when people up sticks and leave. Some places fair better than others, and this place still had stock hanging from the hooks and stacked on the shelves, tools still in their toolboxes and engine parts still neatly stacked in the corner. It must have been abandoned for 20+ years!
Well, after 30 shots it's probably time for a change so I'll end the Route 66 series here.
