The High Line is an old elevated train line that was unused for some time. The range of views and buildings along the walkway is dramatic. Hopefully by the time I have finished posting this series you will have a sense of what it is like to walk this truly unique path.

Reference Nov. 4th Posting
Here is a similar image, totally unedited/cropped, to the posted “mystery image” of Nov. 4th. The colors on the bubble are a little more vibrant in this image, but also the background is more diverse and I was looking for a nearly monochromatic background. Anyway, mystery solved and I thank all of you for playing along with me for a couple of days! 
Bubble Man of Central Park
This is the answer to the mystery image I posted a couple of days back ( Nov. 7th ). I got the type or quality of the previous image due to the overcast day. The cloud cover provided a totally gray background and by focussing on the edge of that particular bubble I got the image I did. This guy was amazing to watch! I was with him for about 45 minutes, talking and laughing and just having a great time as a kid. The children that did get to watch him-he ran out of magical bubble ingredients just as I was leaving- were totally thrilled. It is a pretty simple idea with just two sticks, a piece of rope and the liquid mixture. The trick and talent lies within the manipulation of the stick and rope device and then always being mindful of the wind direction. Shooting through a bubble with people on the other side of the bubble created a cool effect, I think.
Large Gears

8th Ave. Park: South Park, Seattle

A postal-stamp sized park in South Park that few know about as it is mostly a light industrial area. Kayakers use it to launch themselves into the Duwamish River and then either travel the river itself or head out into Elliott Bay. This is the spot where I stalked a blue heron. I posted some of those photos last week.
Hiram Chittenden Locks

Also known locally as The Ballard Locks, this is one section of the locks that work to get marine vehicles from Lake Washington to Puget Sound. The duck is swimming around in a calmer spot on the waterway. The locks are quite a tourist draw in Seattle. I’ll be posting some photos taken at this location over the next few days.
