The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 300,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 5 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
The Amazon is a huge treasure. Whatever H G Buelow was loading this day, its current position is the Mediterranean, having departed Istanbul in the direction of the Suez.
Mining and forestry send resources worldwide. Zhong Xiang is northwest bound off Kuala Lumpur today.
Sergi0 Buarque de Holandia is a new Brazil-built oil products tanker. Although I know nothing about the tug, the rebocador, it led me to this video showing a method of making a tow.
But as I go through my daughter’s fotos, I find myself more interested in the smaller local vessels, what occupies shallower waters.
Let’s go all the way back to these.
I’m curious what the white boxes here are used for.
Small scale fuel stop, designed for a sector of commercial transportation mostly gone from US waters.
The range is tremendous from one-passenger vessels and
docks/playgrounds on the waterfront stilt buildings and
very small versatile ferries to
livestock carriers.
This is waterfront/supra-water housing with water parks and
markets. What comes via small vessel from the “hinterwaters” includes lots of açaí and other products.
I love the lines of these boats.
Happy new year. Thoughtful old year’s day today. Peace!!
and health and smooth travels!
Many thanks to my daughter for taking these fotos.
