Fourth of July in our Neighborhood
A little unusual look/effect. While the shutter was open I quickly moved the camera ( on tripod ) right or left to get this motion effect. I have some more traditional views of fireworks, but these were a couple of my favorites.
A Club for Magic Wheels
Who would have thought there would be a club called: ‘Magic wheels“, whatever that is? I tried to get a look at their club or compound, but it seems they enjoy their privacy/secrecy. I was able to photograph their logo/sign between the sections of the wire fence. Turns out they are a motorcycle club, which is pretty cool.
Reeds
Early morning reeds at Green Lake.
Rough Neighborhood for Street Signs
Looks like Georgetown is rough on their street signs!
Archeological Dig at 14th St. Bridge
Before the actual construction starts on the new bridge an archeological survey of the site must be done. A few dig spots, like this one, are being looked at. You can see the different strata of the soil. Once the survey is done the SDOT website will post data, images and a video of the survey. More information than I can comprehend, although there are some interesting things being found. There were no permanent villages or settlements in this location of the current river and bridge, just seasonal fishing camps. The black tank holds water they use for sluicing the material as needed.
Shame
Message is intended for Seattle from the neighborhood of South Park regarding the handling of the old 14th St. Bridge.
Another Church
From the rooftop of the Pemco parking garage on Eastlake Ave. another church comes into view. The cream colored building with the curved roofline used to be the Seattle School District‘s warehouse. Years ago I worked in this building for about 3 weeks one summer as I was going through a rather extended time between jobs. I worked swing shift with one other employee, who I rarely saw until the end of the shift, around 11:30pm each night.
Orthodox
I think this is a Russian Orthodox Church, but could be Greek.
Twin Toasters
The two glass and stainless steel-looking buildings in the background are referred to as the ‘Twin Toasters”.
Queen Ann Hill
From south of Lake Union, looking at Queen Ann Hill, Seattle. This was shot from the top of the Pemco parking garage on Eastlake Ave. I only had a 55mm lens in the car to use. Not the best lens for the situation.
Sailboat
Out for a day of sailing. Heading down the Duwamish River towards Elliott Bay and perhaps beyond.
Elliott Bay
A section of the Seattle skyline and Elliott Bay.
Muddy River
At low tide the muddy banks become exposed. With Spring runoff the river itself is full of silt and stuff.
