From my backyard to the Olympic Peninsula to the iconic Mt. Rainier.

*Will be in Scotland and Brooklyn over the next three weeks, so posting a variety of not so related images as my last post before departing.

Low tide on the Duwamish River a couple of weeks ago. This spot is directly under the landing path for Sea Tac Airport. With the exception of the air traffic, this is a fairly serene location I have been coming to for years.

fullsizeoutput_4938I can’t take full credit for this photo. My wife took it after a night of snow. I’m guilty of plagiarism, sort of. I spiced up the photo a bit in PS Express.

Anyway, looking East from our deck, towards the Cascade Mts., which are not really visible.

One of the perks of living in the Arbor Heights area of West Seattle is the view of the Olympic Mountains.

These were taken during one of the less-smokey days we had this summer. Still, the visibility is affected. The BC forest fires robbed us of many nice, summer days.

Cruising by Downtown Seattle

Before the Alaskan Way Viaduct is torn down ( within a year or so) I thought I should get some more photos from the perspective of the Viaduct. Shots like these will be impossible once the demo starts.

Pigs on Parade #1

A few years ago the Pike Place Market celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the more interesting events surrounding this occasion was called Pigs on Parade. Various sculpted pigs were given out to various artists to decorate/paint as they wished. The Pigs would then be placed at various locations in downtown Seattle. I went around one day and photographed as many as I could find in the time frame I had given myself. So, over the next couple of weeks I will be posting those photos. The Golden pig, in this post, was stationed on top of a building in the Market itself.

A sampler of Irish landscapes taken in 2014. The Cliffs of Moher* are behind me and the other three images are from two different spots in the Irish countryside.

*I still haven’t mastered the ‘selfie’.
