Shadows on the Bay, Seattle
Partial skyline, Seattle.
Along the Tracks (Con’t.)
One of the questions that comes to mind, when viewing and shooting street art is: what does this say about our society/culture? Some people view it as vandalism while others view it as a form of contemporary art. Because the palette is in or near a public space does that change the dynamics? Or. like the images I have been presenting, are mostly out of the view of the public, but on a BNSF railway right of way does that change things? To get this space both the artist and I have to trespass across those railroad tracks. The palette in these works is just a retaining wall, so maybe the work enhances the large, drab concrete space?
I guess it begs the age old question: What is art?
We all have to answer that for ourselves, I guess.
Seattle Rail Yard
From the Lucille St. bridge, looking NW. Some of rail lines leading into Seattle. Some of the spurs off of these main lines are not in use today as industries have relocated outside the city limits or just closed down.
Discovery
Excited to announce a new genus of tree:

A few more images from the Georgetown, Seattle location.
Cruising by Downtown Seattle
Before the Alaskan Way Viaduct is torn down ( within a year or so) I thought I should get some more photos from the perspective of the Viaduct. Shots like these will be impossible once the demo starts.
Heading into Seattle
From a car.
Finding a way to shoot with a broken foot.
Pigs on Parade #15 Conclusion
This is the last image I have to share of the Pike Place Markets ‘Pigs on Parade’ event. A piggy bank seems a fitting end to this series.
Hope it was enjoyable!
