Mark Toby - Fort Lawton Jan 2, 2005



I am reposting this shot because it was buried so deep in my blog that I couldn't find it and it is a favorite of mine taken during my first serious shoot with my first digital camera about a week after I took up photography again after a lapse of 25 years without a camera.

Armistice Day












Photos taken while trespassing on some land which has been confiscated by the Port of Seattle for the third runway at SeaTac. There was no fence and the land was west of the DesMoines way so I wasn't in the secure area, it was adjacent to a construction site which looks like it will be used for a new access road. I have an attachment to the site. I used to ride my horse there in the summer of 1960. The farm where we kept the horse can be seen here: True's Farm

South of Yesler



This was taken today at 11:17AM south of Yesler near the waterfront in Seattle. It was a sun filtered through fog day. Never really cleared up. The fog was down between the buildings.

Take a close look at the bottom of that wall and note the window arches just above street level. Strange place for windows isn't it. I suspect this is a building that was constructed before the street level was raised one floor and what we see here is the tops of windows in "underground Seattle".
