An old and very beautiful passage under one of those imposing buildings from the past which display the riches of Sweden's merchants in Malmo as coastal city and important hub for maritime commerce.
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...

The Richardson Building is a commercial structure located in Union City, Oklahoma. Constructed in 1910 as a bank building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[3][4]
The building was a center of commerce for the town of 300 people. A fire destroyed the interior of the structure in 1928, but the roof was replaced and the building was restored.[3] The Bank of Union moved its operations to a new building in 1977, and the Richardson Building fell into disrepair.
this building is the next tallest here in hong kong, located in union square in west kowloon. the 484 m (1,588 ft) supertall skyscraper is expected to become the tallest here in hongkong upon completion in 2010.

A shaft of late afternoon light strikes the main entrance to the Bank of Commerce building in Toronto. Built in The Depression of the early 20th century, it's one of the art deco icons of Toronto's financial district. 'The Commerce' was the forerunner of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce which in turn morphed into CIBC, one of today's 'Big Five' Canadian banks with a worldwide reach. Processed in PS.
Fort-Dauphin (Madagascar) - Je ne dirai pas que ce magasin est le plus délabré qu’il m’ait été donné de voir, mais il est dans le peloton de tête. Nous sommes dans les rues adjacentes du marché de Fort-Dauphin. Ce baraquement est une maison d’habitation qui sert également de lieu de commerce. L’homme dans la pièce de droite (le fils de la famille) vend du charbon de bois, quant à sa mère, elle propose des cacahouètes dans de petites boites en fer qui servent d’unité de mesure. La boite est vendue avec les cacahouètes, mais elle n’est pas consignée.
Fort-Dauphin (Madagascar) - I won't say that this store is the most dilapidated that I have ever seen, but it is in the leading group. We are in one of the streets adjacent to the Fort-Dauphin market. This barrack is a residential house which also serves as a place of commerce. The man in the room on the right (the son of the family) sells charcoal, while his mother sells peanuts in small iron boxes which serve as a unit of measurement. The box is sold with the peanuts but it is not returnable.
Looks like the sign didn't want to be left out ;-)
Il me semble que le panneau voulait absolument être dans la photo ;-)
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.

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.
International Commerce Centre compared with other tallest buildings in Asia.
The south side of the building faces Victoria Harbour.
Completed in 1985, Commerce Place is an office building that rises 88 metres above Burrard and West Hastings in downtown Vancouver. Finished in a modernist style, its highly reflective light-blue glass facade produces one of the most stunning exteriors in the city. The building was designed by Waisman Dewar Grout Carter Inc.
This charming Victorian is on the tour, named Queen of the May because that was the month construction was completed... and it is obvious what a queenly residence it is. This design is by Archimedes Russell, a professor of architecture at Syracuse University who has much of his work listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This house displays the era's extravagant details and strong coloring. After WWI such statements fell out of favor, and one after another, these stunning "painted ladies" were garbed in more modern colors. It is wonderful to see so many of them being returned to their origins. (Elm Street is a particulary good area to see many stunning homes which are not listed in the tour brochure.)
The self-guided walking and driving tours of Malone include a number of historic churches and many fine homes featuring Greek Revival and Victorian-style architecture. The beautifully restored homes include many Queen Anne-style homes, "The Queen of the May" at 100 Elm Street was featured on the cover of the 1992 book, America's Painted Ladies.

Eastbound containers roll past Commerce Diesel and motorists on busy I-5 as they begin their journeys to eastern markets.
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!
