Alki Lighthouse

On September 2, 2013September 2, 2013 By Fred KingIn Alki Point, Architecture, buildings, Nikon D7000, Seattle, Thoughts, Washington6 Comments

Located on Beach Drive in West Seattle. One of the last lighthouses on the West Coast to be automated.

Note: My seven year old Macbook Pro expired yesterday. I did most, but not all, of my photo and photoblog work on that machine. Apparently the logic card died and Apple, in the spirit of planned obsolescence, does not supply that part any more. So, I am in the process of deciding what to do next. Since 2008 I have enjoyed doing this blog and don’t want it to end due to some mechanical failure.

Diving class just off shore on Alki Dr. in West Seattle. Saturday mornings there are usually a group of divers at this location or on the other side of the point, two miles from this spot. If you click to enlarge the image you can see Mt. Baker in the center background.

The Shoremont Apartments on Beach Drive fell into a state of disrepair/neglect. They are now in the process of gutting the inside and hopefully leaving the nice, brick exterior.

Grooming and defending the puddle.Note: if you click and enlarge the image of the gull standing in the water you can see a droplet of water hitting the puddle and bouncing upwards.
