It seems like there is no place to put two sets of stairs so I am at a loss as to why these doors were placed here?

North Head Lighthouse
Thought I would dig into the archives today. These photos were taken a few years ago using my Minolta X700 and scanned into the PC. The location is the North Head Lighthouse at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Washington side.
Last Sunny Days
Although we didn’t know it at the time, this day was probably one of our last pleasant days before the seasons shifted. The NW has been in the grip of an Arctic Cold the past few days, very uncommon for us this pre-Thanksgiving holiday. As I type this it is snowing, but rain is predicted (thankfully )for the afternoon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Vacant
A view looking south along the upper deck of the Viaduct along Seattle’s waterfront. A few times a year the viaduct is closed for maintenance, marathons and seismic retro-fitting. The viaduct is a major transportation vein for North/South traffic. It is eery to see it noiseless, sans vehicles. Of course, like a few other cities with viaducts, there has been a push to replace the viaduct with either surface streets ( like San Francisco ) or a tunnel ( such as Boston ). It looks like the tunnel idea has won and soon work will probably start, once all of the litigation has been worked through.

Elliott Bay
A narrow view of Elliott Bay with Alki Point in the background. Unseen are the soon to be snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the far background, about where the line of clouds are.
