Seen on a roof top on Alameda Street.
Gasworks Park
Gasworks Park, on Lake Union in Seattle, is a unique place. This is a view of a few of the hardware pieces left behind.
Cactus and More
A few more film images from the Conservatory scanned into PC.
1955 Plymouth
I spotted this car at a rest stop on our drive from Seattle to Portland two weeks ago. The car was spotless inside and out. I talked with the owner and he said he takes it out on Sundays just to drive, with no destination in mind.
Hydrangea
I think these two flowers are hydrangeas?? Again, scanned into the PC from a film print. I’ve tried to articulate a difference between shooting film vs digital. There are probably many differences, but one that strikes me is that film images sometimes have a softness about them. I guess with Photoshop anything can be altered to look like anything. Outside of the act of editing I think this softness is something that strikes me. I guess the same point has been made between vinyl recordings and digital; the vinyl recordings have a ‘softness’ to them, if I were to choose one word to explain the difference.
Conservatory Flowers
A few more scanned images from the Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Winter Street
A few weeks ago I posted photos of this street when the trees were full of foliage. Looks a bit barren now that Winter has come.
Conservatory Flowers
Thought I would post some non-winter images today and perhaps for the next
couple of days. These images were taken on my Minolta X-700 ( that is all I can
remember) and scanned into PC. Location: Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Friday Assortment
Just a few images from the Pike Place Market. Although I have never eaten eggplant I always love it when I see the color eggplant used on trim on houses.
Market
We were walking through the Pike Place Market this morning and I was reminded of the images I had shot early one Spring morning. Something to brighten the dull shades of Winter.
Happy New Year!
Thought I would take time out of my busy schedule to enthusiastically wish everyone a Happy New Year! 
Ice
Last post of 2009. Best wishes to all who have visited my blog this year. I hope 2010 is a good year for all of us. Thanks ever so much for your support.~Bluestar2012.
Tour Boat and Dog
Dogs are not allowed on this beach, leashed or not. Some dog owners need to pay attention to the posted signs and perhaps even follow the instructions.
Repost
I was not happy with these two images. Basically I did a poor job editing the first time around so I thought I would post the corrected versions.
