Two iconic buildings in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Public Library and The Old Stone House in Park Slope right across the street from where our son and family live.Both of these images were taken on my iPhone. Every Saturday there is a Farmers/Saturday Market in front of the Library and entrance to Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza , a confluence of interesting sites to visit. The morning we were at the Market a man with a green flag ran up the steps leading to the library entrance and started waving this flag. I have no idea what it was about, but someone was videotaping his actions. ??

Version 3 View from a hill in South Park, Seattle, looking north with downtown Seattle in the background. Took this minutes before the storm hit. With no warning the wind and rain started and I had to abandon the shoot.More photos from this hill in the following days.

Location: Alki Beach Park, Seattle, WA. While my grandson, Adam, was throwing popcorn in the air it seemed like a good opportunity to take a few photos. Shot Wednesday morning, between storms. Ferry in the far background plying the waters of Puget Sound.

Hot air balloons in the distance at dusk. Taken with an iPhone so the quality isn’t quite there, but thought it was worth posting anyway.

Churning Waters

On February 7, 2015 By Fred KingIn Alki Point, Samsung ST150, Seattle2 Comments

The latest Pineapple Express hitting the West Coast. This afternoon, the wind was gusting to about 50mph at Alki Point and the water of Puget Sound was filled with whitecaps. It was difficult to stand in place to take photos.
