Deliniated Border

Something makes me think just one sign hasn't worked in the past :-). Next door to the private property is this obscure and very quiet little public access beach with a secluded bench near the mouth of Salmon Bay where I like to hang out and watch the boats go by. It is the polar opposite of the atmosphere you will find at Lake Washington's Seafair events today and tomorrow with the exciting demonstrations of speed and skill thousands will witness at the Seafair Hydroplane races and the roaring precision airshows featuring the Blue Angles. Tranquility or excitement, it's all good :-). Hope your summer (winter) Saturday is great wherever you spend it.

Skywatch: Summer Night View

The view @ twilight on a summer evening filtered through the neon signs of Pike Place Market. This postcard view is my Skywatch Friday offering. To see more skies around the globe (and perhaps a shot or two of the Northern Lights),  checkout Skywatch Fridays here.

Happy Birthday Chuck!

If you wander through Pike Place Market you may come across the wonderful work of professional photographer Chuck Pefley, and if you're lucky, Chuck himself. We came upon him just after he'd finished a conversation with a customer and was starting to take a reading break in his Market day stall. I've met Chuck a number of times since he joined the City Daily Photo Blog family with One a Day, Mostly Seattle. The longtime Seattle resident is not only a skilled photographer, but also a Vespa scooter enthusiast active in the Westenders Scooter Club, and a very fun and nice guy who loves the beautiful scenes, friendships and adventures his travels near and far bring him (often illustrated in his beautiful prints). Today is Chuck's birthday and I'm sending best wishes for a wonderful day!

Freeway Park

Seattle's "freeway with a lid on it" created a Convention Center and an urban park able to span the I-5 cut between First Hill / downtown and Capitol Hill to the east. Freeway Park and the Washington State Trade and Convention Center (green windowed buildings to left) sit over the freeway and display brutalist architecture's ability to merge with natural forms like the hanging garden greenery that descends to the freeway below. In view to the left in the park is the George Washington profile sculpture on posts that also seem to serve as an arbor for climbing greenery.
