During the Center for Wooden Boats Festival, July 4th weekend and July 10th & 11th, historic tall ships The Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain are docked in South Lake Union. The public is invited to board and tour the vessels, and they will take folks for a battle sail or even an evening fireworks sail on Lake Union. Their working crews dress in period costume and they share their enthusiasm for their ship's history and expertise in manning a classic wooden beauty. They sailed down from Bellingham, a group of school age children helping man the vessels with the crew. All great fun. This crew member was working at something while hanging off the bow.

Theme Day: Reflections

I had never noticed this phenomenon before. On a very sunny day the eerie pink waves of reflected light that the Purple Haze wall of the the Experience Music Project scatters everywhere had a concentrated spot on the undulating silver roof adjoining it. The Purple Haze Wall is made of highly reflective colorful metallic shingles that look purple, pink, or orange depending on where one stands and the available light. It mirrored a reflection of it's own reflection, making this sort of Rorschach image of what I assume must be an Iron Butterfly. Okay, groan now if you must :-). This was in late afternoon, and the shot below was on another day in the morning. It is the first of the month theme day among City Daily Photo Bloggers all over the planet.

. . .the flowers come through. Perhaps you will know if these are delphinium or larkspur. Whichever they are, they were growing at the base of a telephone pole, blowing in the cold breeze along my walk route last night.
It's my iPhone Wednesday shot for this week, (hey, it's week #50!) where the image is taken and edited with an iPhone using available fun apps.
