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.

I thought the blue background worked in an interesting way with the red of the Japanese Maple.

Amtrak: Seattle to Portland

On August 25, 2013 By Fred KingIn Blue Sky, buildings, design, Nikon D7000, sunrise, Thoughts, TrainLeave a comment

Thought I would post a few images, today and tomorrow, from the train ride I took a few weeks ago. I have travelled the route, between Seattle and Portland, probably 50-60 times in the past 5 years. Most of the year the weather isn’t very cooperative. This particular trip, an early morning, was beautiful so I did remember to grab my camera and shoot through the window from my seat. These three shots are from the Tacoma area. Farm land just outside of Tacoma and the other two images are from the waterfront area just past the Tacoma Amtrak station.

This is not a chalk drawing, but one done with paint. Spotted in NE Portland.

Asymmetry

A newer building on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Can’t recall the exact address, but it does stand out in context with the surrounding buildings.
