Fading Vespa Sign: Update*

On October 21, 2013 By Fred KingIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Although nearly faded away, this is a sign on the old Vespa Club in Georgetown. The painting is supposed to show a woman ( circa 1960′s) sitting on a yellow Vespa scooter.

*Update: Sadly this painted ad on the side of this old building is now gone forever. The building now has new cedar siding ( painted yellow ) and a new roof. The above, Woman on a Vespa, has ridden off to the trash heap of history, sadly :-(.

Fall while Driving

Probably something I should not have done, camera in hand randomly ( and mostly blindly) shooting, while I was driving last week. I did my best to edit out parts of the car, but as you can see, there is only so much cropping that can be done and still have some sort of subject left.

Crossings

First two bridges span the Cedar River ( Renton) and the third is over the Green River (Kent). Bridges and train trestles seem to fascinate me. I should dig through my archives and do a monster bridge posting! :-). Lots of rust and creosote!

The new North Span of the 14th St. Bridge (South Park) is in place, vertically. The new bridge is coming along. Other images of working vessels of one type or another. Barges are loaded with just about anything you can imagine, trucks, cars, boats containers, etc and take the cargo north to Juneau, AK.

Fall Colors

Taken at Lincoln Park, near our home, in West Seattle. I found one tree that kept me busy shooting for quite a few minutes. It’s amazing the range of colors visible on just one tree. The process of decay is in stages that I find fascinating, but I am sure there is a rational, scientific explanation. I prefer the mysterious 🙂.

Heron

Spotted along the Cedar River. This heron was quite a distance from me as he waited for the post-spawning salmon to float by. I wish I could have gotten closer…..
