Fourth of July in our Neighborhood

A little unusual look/effect. While the shutter was open I quickly moved the camera ( on tripod ) right or left to get this motion effect. I have some more traditional views of fireworks, but these were a couple of my favorites.

Archeological Dig at 14th St. Bridge

On By Fred KingIn Bridge, SeattleLeave a comment

Before the actual construction starts on the new bridge an archeological survey of the site must be done. A few dig spots, like this one, are being looked at. You can see the different strata of the soil. Once the survey is done the SDOT website will post data, images and a video of the survey. More information than I can comprehend, although there are some interesting things being found. There were no permanent villages or settlements in this location of the current river and bridge, just seasonal fishing camps.  The black tank holds water they use for sluicing the material as needed.

Another Church

On By Fred KingIn buildings, Church, SeattleLeave a comment

From the rooftop of the Pemco parking garage on Eastlake Ave. another church comes into view. The cream colored building with the curved roofline used to be the Seattle School District‘s warehouse. Years ago I worked in this building for about 3 weeks one summer as I was going through a rather extended time between jobs. I worked swing shift with one other employee, who I rarely saw until the end of the shift,  around 11:30pm each night.
