Solar Panels and Cisterns

Cisterns & solar panels on a house in the Sabin Area of Portland. Most of the yard is devoted to either garden or chickens. Amazing what can be done in an urban environment.

An Eye on You

As curious about me as I about him.

Foundation

All that is left of this house is the foundation. Adjacent to the bridge on-ramp, I saw a team of workers last summer in hazmat suits going through the house. At first I thought it was a drug bust of a meth lab. A couple of weeks later I was in the area again, shooting, and this time the whole house was gone. I think the house stood where a small park/playground will be once the new bridge is built.

Steam coming from the Boeing facility in the background. A rare, sunny day in Seattle.

Both Towers

Apparently work on the demolition is stalled due to Federal Funds stuck in the pipeline. This view shows the missing mid-section and the two bridge towers.

Reflective Re-Visit

On January 7, 2011 By Fred KingIn Bridge1 Comment

On a (rare ) clear day in Seattle I was able to revisit one of my favorite landmarks in transition, the 14th St Bridge. Over the next couple of weeks ( as a warning 🙂 ) I will be posting some of the images from this clear, sunny day. Although the subject matter has been covered here, I think when the intangibles ( weather ) change it is worth a second look.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Photo of a photo. A poster-sized photo I have had for 25 years on my wall. Stating the obvious, this image if from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn.
