Seattle & the Number 12

The number 12, in Seahawk colors, can be seen in a variety of places and forms. The number references the Seattle Seahawk fan base that support the football team. Walking around Alki Point recently I noticed the images below. Seahawk windsocks and even Seahawk duct tape was witnessed!

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.DSC_0325

Duwamish Reflection

There has been a layer of fog over Seattle for days. I thought I should post something to  remind me of what blue sky looks like. The Duwamish River at high tide is nearly glassy in appearance. The building reflected is a Boeing property, one of few remaining in this section of Seattle known in Boeing-speak as Plant II. Although I am retired from Boeing I have no idea just what takes place in this building. In my day there were some secure sites within Plant II, but I think most of that was in relation to work Boeing did on the stealth aircraft in the 1990’s.DSC_2895-001
