Shot in midtown Manhattan. Not just an experiment in mood, but also what caught my eye was the streaks or rays of discoloration seen diagonally through the tallest building.

Post #2,000
Since this is my 2,000th posting on this blog I was thinking I should dig through the archives for something befitting the milestone. Fortunately, that was just a passing thought.
Fashion Shoot
Both still and video was used in this fashion shoot one morning in the new Brooklyn Bridge Park. A very scenic area and the weather was beautiful this morning. I thought it was time for a change of pace from the floral images and those of urban decay that I am so fond of.
Around the Pike Place Market:Blogpost #1952*
Random shots from in and around the PP Market.
*Not that I am superstitious about numbers, but today’s post also represents the year I was born. Nothing noteworthy, but…….
Views from the Tracks
Views of downtown Seattle from the railroad tracks just south of town.
Views of the Fountain
Fountain at the Seattle Center with rainbow.
Along the Interurban Trail-#?
This first image was taken nearly at the end of the Interurban Trail. The center of the photo ( the vanishing point?) is the end.
Tim’s Cascade Crunch factory, famous for those thick, teeth-breaking potato chips. Another view of Mt. Rainier and a shot of a cow viewing me.
A Different View of Mt. Rainier
This view is from the Kent Valley, south of Seattle.
Sunrise
Photos were taken from the Sunrise side of Mt. Rainier. The lodge is at @ 6400′ elevation. Trails that lead up to the glaciers, alpine lakes and other ridges start from this lodge. This day we took a short trail called Huckleberry, steep, but short. The outcropping of rock is fascinating. There are spots along the trail, viewpoints I guess, where the drop-off is a direct fall for hundreds of feet. I have a thing about heights so I stay back from the edge at those points along the trail.
Along the Tacoma Waterfront, something most Fowl
On a recent, hazy day in Tacoma, the fowl were out and about.
What would……
What would a nature trail be without high tension power lines? The Interurban Trail probably started out as a maintenance road for the power company and morphed, over time, into something the public could use. 
Mt. Rainier-Sunrise
Yesterday we took a day trip to Sunrise, on the east side of Mt. Rainier. As you can see it was a beautiful day! Will be posting more from this day in the future.
First Hill Fun
A sheared-off telephone pole now used as an art project of sorts. Baby crying sign…?????
Interesting Ritual Observed
A week ago I was walking near Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill in Seattle when I observed a most unusual Spring ritual. There was a large group of children gathered around an inflated giraffe-like creature led, apparently, by a middle-aged man wearing fake bunny ears. As he gesticulated to the horde of children as he counted down from 10. When he said the magical number the children made a dash for these plastic, egg-shaped objects that were randomly placed on the landscaped hill. I surmised that the idea was to collect as many of these ‘eggs’ as one could. Clearly the advantage was with the faster and probably older children. This event/ritual had their own professional photographer! After all of the eggs had been gathered the children and their parents met up at the fake giraffe-like object and the ritual seemed to come to a close at that point. I think I identified with the toddler in the last photo. He seemed to be wondering what all the fuss about some orb-like object could be? My sentiments exactly 🙂
