Spotted in Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. Due to being in Portland the past few days I have not been able to post. As evidenced by this I appear to be back in Seattle.

The Shock of the New

Modernity vs Classical: A new design with mixed materials, seemingly in conflict with each other and an older design face-lifted with new materials, but in my opinion. in harmony.

From the Archives

I wanted to step back in time and dig something out of the archives that I don’t think I have used before. This is a moon-rise over Elliott Bay and south of Downtown Seattle area. I think this was taken with a small, point and shoot camera over 5 years ago.

14th Street Bridge

I have been following the progress of the new 14th St. Bridge from the start of the demo. Thought I would post something fairly recent to mark the progress. I have a few images from this past week, but they are still on the chip in the camera.

Layers of Paint

This building on First Hill has been abused so badly over the years. Multiple layers of paint and posters nearly disguise the brick walls.

An example of modern design. From the outside it seems to lack something for me. Where to start?

There are some interesting brick buildings on 12th Ave. on First Hill in Seattle. Some have sadly fallen prey to graffiti, posters and more.

Yellows and Reds

Yellows and reds seem to dominate the images today, on Mother’s Day. A nice gesture to a mother would be a good thing to consider today. My mom wanted a ride to the local hardware/garden store today so she was easy to please. She now has a new wine barrel to replace an old one to plant in. There was an unadvertised sale on this item. She would have jumped for joy, but I think her jumping days are behind her.
