Flag

The flag atop the Brooklyn Bridge. If you look closely you can see the year, 1875, between the cables on the stone column. The vanishing point is a little left of center but, what the heck, so am I.

Abandoned Seattle Brewery

I’ve posted some images, in the past, taken at the Seattle Brewery site in Georgetown ( Seattle ). These two images represent some of the reworking of images from a couple of years ago.

Finding Warmer Climes

While the temp outside hangs around 28 degrees I thought I needed to be reminded of a warmer place and time. These two images were shot at a California Mission, probably Camino Real or Mission Soledad.

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.

John Palmer House

Located on Mississippi St., in NE Portland. The front gate is padlocked and bushes, as you can see, cover the view of most of the front of the house now. I’m not sure if tours are conducted or if the house is just closed up. It is on the National Historic Registry.

‘Painted Ladies’ of Albina St.

Not exactly as impressive as the ‘Painted Ladies‘ across from Alamo Park in San Francisco, but that is what came to mind as I walked by these houses on Albina St. in NE Portland.

Peninsula Park, NE Portland

Peninsula Park was the original ‘Rose Garden’ in Portland, OR. Located in NE Portland I would guess city officials decided that a park like this should be located closer to downtown.
