Some photos of our recent trip over the mountain.
Another use for shipping containers, simply turn them into shops at a market place.
The steel containers are ideal as one can lock up the goods at night by closing the steel awning and locking the container doors at the left hand side. No need to pack up everything and to transport them home every night. An ideal solution.
I thought that this post would also be suitable for the #marketfriday community, hosted by the lovely lady @dswigle.
A solid tempered glass front was added to this container.
A lovely conversion of a steel container here.
There was also a homemade nursery cabin and a growth tunnel at this flower nursery.
And here was the rest of the nursery. For some of us, that bus is a great memory as we actually traveled on them as passengers many years ago.
I normally went to school every day on my bicycle, but on rainy days I had to take that pesky slow bus that stopped anywhere and everywhere on the trip to school and back.
So I could get up to all sorts of tricks on the bus to pass the time and the driver didn't hesitate to stop the bus to come and sort me out hahaga.
An old Bedford fire truck was converted into a mobile library.
Did I tell you that this nursery is in a farming area.
So amazing to see the magical transformation abilities of people. I bet that the original designers of the steel shipping containers never thought that one day their containers will serve as shops. Best of all is that one container can even be converted into a coldroom to store fragile goods.
Other instances of container conversions include stores, offices and even air conditioned homes.
Should you ever hit the road in the Western Cape Province, don't forget to visit the Peregrine roadside restaurant.
