At the start of the Cedar River Trail. New Boeing planes with the protective wrap, a heron and a view of the Renton section of the river looking south.

The shoreline photos were taken between Tacoma and Olympia. Very picturesque. Last image is of the tower at Union Station in Portland.

Amtrak: Seattle to Portland

Thought I would post a few images, today and tomorrow, from the train ride I took a few weeks ago. I have travelled the route, between Seattle and Portland, probably 50-60 times in the past 5 years. Most of the year the weather isn’t very cooperative. This particular trip, an early morning, was beautiful so I did remember to grab my camera and shoot through the window from my seat. These three shots are from the Tacoma area. Farm land just outside of Tacoma and the other two images are from the waterfront area just past the Tacoma Amtrak station.

‘Painted Ladies’ of Albina St.

Not exactly as impressive as the ‘Painted Ladies‘ across from Alamo Park in San Francisco, but that is what came to mind as I walked by these houses on Albina St. in NE Portland.

Two Views

Two views from behind the main complex of buildings that was the Fisher Flour Mill. The ‘mud’ puddle was more than just water and dirt. The green, slimey stuff gave off a really nasty odor, very reminiscent of the Gowanus Canal smell I have experienced. Like death, it is a very unique smell that you never forget.

Electrical conduit to nowhere and a crumbling pier-shot through a cyclone fence. Two of the cruise ships that travel from Seattle to Alaska every summer are in the background.

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.

Red Vespa & Field

This open space, adjacent to Alberta Street, which is highly commercial, seemed kind of odd to me. I mostly like the clouds, I think. The Vespa obsession continues :-).

View of Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. I think there was some maintenance going on last Fall when this photo was taken.

A cruise on one of these will never be on my Bucket List*.
