Squirrell
Spotted today while walking around Greenlake in north Seattle.
Butterfly
Usually butterflies flit about so fast they can be difficult to shoot. This one was my third attempt this afternoon. I guess you have to run across a hungry butterfly to capture an image of one?
Reflections
In a window in Brooklyn and on Green Lake in Seattle, reflections.
Green Lake Aqua Theatre
What is left of the Green Lake Aqua Theatre. Most of the original structure has been demolished. It was a very unique piece of architecture and an interesting venue for a range of events, including rock concerts.
I remember being at this Led Zeppelin concert in May of 1969. The outdoor acoustics made for an amazing place to hear Jimmy Page’s guitar playing.
This Grateful Dead concert, Aug. 20th, 1969, was the very last concert at this venue. I was there listening till around 2AM when the electricity was shut off. The Dead arrived over an hour late (very commonplace for them). It was an odd night. Due to the city buses stopping service before 2AM I didn’t arrive home till hours later.
Shoreline
A few views of the shoreline of Green Lake. Just enough light to get a little bit of reflection.
Lily Pads
Even though it was an overcast day I did find a few things to shoot at Green Lake.
Rowing
Crew rowing on this cold, grey day. During the summer Green Lake hosts many regional rowing tournaments (?). On this day just this solitary crew was out on the lake practicing.
Lily Pads
On a cold, grey day I walked around Green Lake hoping the rain would hold off for an hour. I did manage to find some nice things to shoot, even though it was ‘Junuary’ here in Seattle.
Green Lake Bathhouse
Green Lake Playhouse from across the lake. This is a really small theatre that is a fun venue to watch plays.
Fall Reflection
Duck napping on Green Lake in North Seattle.
Turtles
Turtles at Green Lake. A few years ago I recall seeing maybe 5 or 6 turtles residing on the lake. This day I counted over a dozen, including many youngsters. Must be a good habitat for the turtles to live and even thrive in. Very exciting.
Jogger
Green Lake has a really nice path for running/walking around the perimeter of the lake. The distance around the lake on this path is just under 3 miles.
