Two Views

Two views from behind the main complex of buildings that was the Fisher Flour Mill. The ‘mud’ puddle was more than just water and dirt. The green, slimey stuff gave off a really nasty odor, very reminiscent of the Gowanus Canal smell I have experienced. Like death, it is a very unique smell that you never forget.

Electrical conduit to nowhere and a crumbling pier-shot through a cyclone fence. Two of the cruise ships that travel from Seattle to Alaska every summer are in the background.

I needed a break from the Fisher Flour Mill. Today, something to brighten up the Seattle doldrums.

More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.

Camera that could be operational. Space between buildings and vegetation that seems to grow in the oddest of places.

Peeling paint, rusting pipes and just the odd rip rap left behind.

Inside the Fisher Flour Site

The floor boards were so spongy I had to walk on the planks. When I posted this image on Flickr I referred to it as a “creepy corridor”.

The abandoned Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island in Seattle. This time I went inside the compound ( I think it is called trespassing ) so will be posting some images caught during that visit.

Was a minus tide yesterday. We spend some time on the beach hunting marine life of all sorts, crabs, snails, sea cucumbers. Here is a few views of the some of the moon snails we encountered. Some were so large they had to be held with two hands as they emerged from their shell. Note the slimey substance wrapping around the fingers above.

Just beneath the surface of the water are these colorful kelp. ( I hope my spelling is better with this post?). Must be time for another break.

Here are some views of the salon after some of my images were hung this morning. The location of the salon is 514 East Republican, on Capitol Hill. The listed address online, etc is incorrect. 514 is the correct street number. I’ve been given a two month run.
