Derelict houses and outbuildings along the Green River. I’m not sure how or why the pallet got placed at the top of the dead tree below, but 25 feet up, there it is?

First two bridges span the Cedar River ( Renton) and the third is over the Green River (Kent). Bridges and train trestles seem to fascinate me. I should dig through my archives and do a monster bridge posting! :-). Lots of rust and creosote!

Skagit Valley: Abandoned#3

Color versions of previous images. With color you can see the tonal variations in the corrugated roof ( as well as the geometry of lines) and the shades of rust to the right of the doorway above. I like seeing the partial windows in the background; adds some sort of depth, but leads nowhere. Well, just some random thoughts. I rarely comment on the images I post. I would rather the images spoke for themselves, but today I felt like sharing my impressions:-).

Skagit Valley

Skagit Valley, approx. 70 miles north of Seattle, WA. This particular sequence was shot just east of LaConner, WA. looking northeast. That is Mt. Baker in the distance. The valley is mostly farmland for a variety of crops, including tulips. Tomorrow and perhaps for a couple of more days I am going to post some images of an abandoned farm I ran across while driving through the valley.

A view of the Swinomish Slip and of a business sign in LaConner, WA.

Alki Lighthouse

On September 2, 2013September 2, 2013 By Fred KingIn Alki Point, Architecture, buildings, Nikon D7000, Seattle, Thoughts, Washington6 Comments

Located on Beach Drive in West Seattle. One of the last lighthouses on the West Coast to be automated.

Note: My seven year old Macbook Pro expired yesterday. I did most, but not all, of my photo and photoblog work on that machine. Apparently the logic card died and Apple, in the spirit of planned obsolescence, does not supply that part any more. So, I am in the process of deciding what to do next. Since 2008 I have enjoyed doing this blog and don’t want it to end due to some mechanical failure.

Fisher Flour Mill

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.
