In this scene from a postcard by artist Clare Angell, the words "Merry Christmas" zigzag from house to house as the occupants transmit wireless holiday greetings to one another.
Outside in weather so cold that icicles have formed around the oval border of the illustration, a woman prepares to fling another kind of wireless transmission toward an unsuspecting gent (is it her husband?) who's carrying gift boxes and a holiday wreath as he trudges through the snow with his gloved hands in his coat pockets.
Handwritten message on the other side (no address, stamp, or postmark): "I wish you all a Merry Xmas and a happy New Year. From: Edna Huston."

What do you do when you have almost an hour to kill at Penn Station before getting on your Acela train back home? Walk around and take a few quick photos, of course.

Fenix is housed in a historic harbor warehouse dating from 1923. It was once the largest storage and transshipment warehouse in the world, designed by architect Cornelis van Goor and commissioned by the Holland America Line. The warehouse was then called Warehouse San Francisco and is 360 meters long.
During World War II, German troops blew up the quays. The warehouse was severely damaged. In 1948, a fire destroyed part of the building. Like the mythical phoenix, the warehouse rose from the ashes. The building was rebuilt, but as two separate structures. These were aptly named Fenix Warehouse I and Fenix Warehouse II.
From the Fenix Warehouse, you look out over the quays where millions of people once departed by ship. Just as many people arrived in the Katendrecht district and Rotterdam, seeking a new home. This history inspired Ma Yansong of MAD Architects. He was commissioned, the first Chinese architect, to design a museum in Europe.
He designed a futuristic addition to the more than century-old warehouse: the Tornado. A work of art and a lookout point in one. Two staircases, with a customizable route, lead visitors to a panoramic deck above the roof. The Tornado's rounded shapes make it appear as if it's in motion. The design thus reflects the bustle and history of the quays, where the lives of millions of men, women, and children changed forever.

-------------------
Fenix huist in een historische havenloods uit 1923. Ooit was dit de grootste op- en overslagloods ter wereld, ontworpen door architect Cornelis van Goor en gebouwd in opdracht van de Holland-Amerika Lijn. Het pakhuis heet dan nog Loods San Francisco en is 360 meter lang.
In de Tweede Wereldoorlog blazen Duitse troepen de kades op. De loods wordt zwaar getroffen. In 1948 verwoest een brand een deel van het gebouw. Net als de mythische feniks, verrijst de loods uit de as. Het gebouw wordt herbouwd, maar als twee afzonderlijke gebouwen. Deze krijgen de toepasselijke namen Fenixloods I en Fenixloods II.
Vanuit de Fenixloods kijk je uit over de kades waar ooit miljoenen mensen per schip vertrokken. Evenzoveel mensen kwamen in de wijk Katendrecht en in Rotterdam aan, op zoek naar een nieuw thuis. Deze geschiedenis inspireerde Ma Yansong van MAD Architects. Hij kreeg de opdracht als eerste Chinese architect een ontwerp te maken voor een museum in Europa.
Hij ontwierp een futuristische toevoeging aan de ruim honderd jaar oude loods: de Tornado. Een kunstwerk en uitkijkpunt in één. Twee trappen voeren met een zelf te kiezen route bezoekers naar een panoramadek boven het dak. Door de ronde vormen lijkt de Tornado in beweging te staan. Daarmee weerspiegelt het ontwerp de reuring en geschiedenis van de kades. Daar waar het leven van miljoenen mannen, vrouwen en kinderen een wending nam.
It was nearly a full moon night and against the foreground were some coconut tree leaves zigzagging the light.
