From my backyard to the Olympic Peninsula to the iconic Mt. Rainier.
*Will be in Scotland and Brooklyn over the next three weeks, so posting a variety of not so related images as my last post before departing.

From my Neighborhood
One of the perks of living in the Arbor Heights area of West Seattle is the view of the Olympic Mountains.
Shadows on the Bay, Seattle
Partial skyline, Seattle.
Seattle Rail Yard
From the Lucille St. bridge, looking NW. Some of rail lines leading into Seattle. Some of the spurs off of these main lines are not in use today as industries have relocated outside the city limits or just closed down.
Blowin’ in the Wind
Just a few blocks from our house this view presents itself. This view is looking southwest along Marine View Drive and Puget Sound. When I took daily walks I would walk along this section of Marine View Drive. One of the perks of living where we do; just a few minutes walk from a pretty cool view. Hasn’t changed much in the 60 years I have lived in Arbor Heights.
Along the Soon to be Extinct Viaduct
Looking southward along SR99 along the waterfront in Seattle. The Wheel, a few piers and CenturyLink Field in the background. Just behind CenturyLink Field is Mt. Rainier.
View from the Pike Place Market
Yesterday, on a Chamber of Commerce weather day, we took our two grandkids to the Pike Place Market to have lunch and to check out the refurbed section of the Market. We traveled by bus from West Seattle; I have to insert that I think comparing NYC Subways and Seattle Metro buses is likely close to happening).
Highlights of the images ( which are all shot on my iPhone, with the aid of a detachable lens are: The Wheel, Mt. Rainier, Elliott Bay, Alki Point in West Seattle and the soon-to-become extinct Viaduct/SR99.
One of the highlights of the outing was viewing and contributing to the new Gum Wall!
Anyway, the foray into downtown Seattle for a few of hours was about all my broken down body could endure. The current Seattle agency in charge of tourism promotion of the city seemed to be doing a bang up job as the Market was jam packed, even for a Tuesday!
Skagit Valley
Tulip season is over, but I still have some images from our trip to the valley north of Seattle, so bear with me as I post another dozen or so images.

Two Bridges
The Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Taken while in Brooklyn last week.
Morning from Brooklyn Bridge Park
On a very blustery morning. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge Park this morning and took this shot of Manhattan across the East River.
Today, Coney Island
In the off-season Coney Island is a quiet place. Photos taken with an iPhone.
