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.
These Crocosmia plants are courtesy of my next door neighbor. I kept an eye on her plants for a couple of weeks, during the evenings, to capture some images of the blossoms as they progressed.
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.
More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.
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.
