Whimsy mixed with…..

Georgetown is an odd mix of light industry, residential, artists lofts and retail space in very old buildings. Fascinating that all of these elements can co-exist and thrive. The brick building is part of the very old Seattle Brewery. Not sure what the plan is, but it looks like this building in the old complex is getting a facelift and some major structural help. The Sandbox is an indoor beach playground for children of all ages. The crow on the bottom image seems to be watching over the Vespa scooter.

Walking around Georgetown, Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, recently. The day was sunny and clear so I thought it would be a good day for shadows and reflections.

Even this metal mesh could not deter some tagger from defacing a building on Alberta St.

Spotted these two girls on a rooftop ( near Alberta Street, Portland, OR.) playing with a blond-haired doll. The dialogue went something like this:

Me: “May I take your photo”?

Younger girl: “Do you have flash on that camera”?

Me: ” Yes, I do, but it is too sunny out to need it”.

Younger girl: “Don’t tell my mom we’re up here”.

Me: “I won’t tell. Be careful”!

I’ve posted some images, in the past, taken at the Seattle Brewery site in Georgetown ( Seattle ). These two images represent some of the reworking of images from a couple of years ago.

Finding Warmer Climes

While the temp outside hangs around 28 degrees I thought I needed to be reminded of a warmer place and time. These two images were shot at a California Mission, probably Camino Real or Mission Soledad.
