26th June 2015 - A view from on top of the 'Atlantic Conveyor's' bridge showing the various aspects of the Stevedoring process that goes on at the Seaforth Container terminal. I used to do the invoicing for that little lot...

Cairo, Illinois
I have never been to Cairo. I want to go there. It is winter now; sometimes I travel on the computer. This image was made using Google Maps Streetview.
BNSF 3682 leads empty well cars into Lever Brothers while a light power move comes up behind on its way to Commerce Diesel for service.

LUXEMBOURG
Il s'agit d'une épicerie solidaire qui vise à favoriser le retour à l'emploi et la création locale de richesses tout en offrant des produits sains.
The old general store in tiny Buffalo Hart,near Springfield,IL.,is about the last building left in town.It has been closed since the early '70s,its old wooden shelves still filled with a variety of merchandise.The town was once an important shipping point on the main line rail tracks that run through its center.It was named after a grove of white popular trees that stood out on the central Illinois tailgrass prairie,a small 3 acre remnant survives....

Back in 'Merica. But close enough to advertise gas price by the litre. But really, gallons of milk to the tenth of a penny?
Sumas, Washington, USA.
A marine layer begins to creep in off the Pacific as the lonely ‘yard hopper’ local, which is a caboose hop this evening, approaches Hobart yard where it’ll gain access to UP’s San Pedro Sub for the ride into the LAJ’s A yard.
BNSF’s 4th Rivera local in the care of ATSF lettered GP60 No. 194 carefully makes its way down the rickety rails on one of many decrepit spurs radiating off the San Bernardino Sub like spider webs throughout the City of Commerce.
ROOSE COMMERCE PARK
History: This park was once occupied by a company transporting mined sand from the river.
In the 1960s this became an unsafe practice and buildings were handed over to the Waikato Rowing Club. The gazebo was built in the 1970s for a flower show at Claudelands and was moved to the riverside location. A large remnant from the original Union Bridge is located beside this structure.
Maaori significance: The Roose Commerce area was an important landing place used by Maaori (and early European settlers) in central Hamilton.
Use: This area is an integral part of the central city and is the home to clubs connected with the river: Waikato Rowing Club, Hamilton Hawks running club, and the Waikato Sport Fishing Club. Ferrybank and Roose Commerce Park connect to the walkway/cycleway network and provide a welcome break of green space in the central city. The area is surrounded by mixed use and medium density residential development
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - A Talatamaty et dans toute la Grande-île, si on a une maison qui donne sur une rue, on ouvre un commerce. C’est une obligation. Une pratique quasi-culturelle.
Talatamaty se trouve dans la proche périphérie de la capitale, Antananarivo. Une ville où le niveau de vie est un peu au-dessus de la moyenne nationale. Ça ne veut pas dire pour autant qu’on nage dans l’opulence. Il faut être raisonnable, Madagascar est quand même l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde.
Sur la photo, on peut identifier un commerce de bonne tenue car les morceaux de poulet et les poissons ne sont pas assaillis par les mouches. Et la jeune vendeuse à une chemise toute neuve. Chose rare à Madagascar. Sauf quand on va à la messe, tout le monde revêt ses habits du dimanche.
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - In Talatamaty and throughout the Big Island, if you have a house that overlooks a street, you open a business. It is an obligation. A quasi-cultural practice.
Talatamaty is located on the outskirts of the capital, Antananarivo. A city where the standard of living is a little above the national average. That doesn’t mean we’re swimming in opulence, however. We must be reasonable, Madagascar is still one of the poorest countries in the world.
In the photo, we can identify a well-kept business because the pieces of chicken and fish are not assailed by flies. And the young saleswoman has a brand new shirt. A rare thing in Madagascar. Except when we go to mass, everyone wears their Sunday best.
Eastbound containers roll past Commerce Diesel and motorists on busy I-5 as they begin their journeys to eastern markets.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Commerce_Centre:
The International Commerce Centre is a 108-story, 484 m (1,588 ft) supertall skyscraper in West Kowloon, Hong Kong, resting atop the Elements mall and near two MTR Stations (Kowloon and Austin Station). It is the world's 13th tallest building by height, 10th tallest by number of floors, and Hong Kong's tallest, as well as the only building in the city with over 100 storeys. The official height is 484 m (1,588 ft), which includes the 6 m (20 ft) tall parapets on the roof. It was the world's 4th tallest building and 3rd in Asia when completed in 2010.

Middelburg is my place of birth and it's a medieval city with a lot of beautiful ancient buildings. Some of them you can find in my stream. From time to time we go back for a family-visit and a stroll through the city. Last time we had this great golden hour company us at our departure. The sun lit up the modern building of the Chamber of Commerce including it's reflection in a warm golden glowing light. I had to stop and grab my gear from the car to make a photograph of this scene.
Enjoy!
