Two Faces of Monday

Version 2Monday I posted a color version of this photo on Instagram and FB. Thought I would post the black and white version.

Maternal Grandfather

fullsizeoutput_3d8fThis is a photo of my maternal grandfather at age 11, taken in 1913. His name was George and he was Dutch, part of a family that were early immigrants to New York.

Seattle Rail Yard

Version 2From 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.

Large Barge

Recently spent a little time around the Duwamish River in South Park, Seattle.  This day the river was really high due to runoff in the mountains. The barge looked like an ocean going type, although I’m no barge expert.  There are a couple of more steps, in the image, that are usually visible even during high tide.

Note: I used an old, Vivitar wide angle lens on the barge photo.

Cruising by Downtown Seattle

Before the Alaskan Way Viaduct is torn down ( within a year or so) I thought I should get some more photos from the perspective of the Viaduct. Shots like these will be impossible once the demo starts.

Saturday

If it ever stops raining in Seattle I will be grabbing my camera bag and heading outside. For the moment I still have webbed feet. Apparently this has been one of the wettest Winters we have had in 60+ years. Since Oct. 2016 we have had only 3 days where the sun has shown itself.
