A business in the west end of South Park near the Duwamish Bridge in south Seattle.

A little sailboat making for Eliot Bay at the mouth of the Duwamish River. The sailboat is dwarfed by the surrounding landscape.

Standing on the muddy tide flats below the Duwamish Bridge looking up at the span which opens for large boats and sail boats with tall masts.

Went down to the Union Pacific switching yards in south Seattle after dinner and worked for an hour or so before the light gave out and it started raining.

Signature

A little abstract to break the monotony of all the representational stuff I have been posting recently. This was taken in an alley between first and second ave in Belltown just a little north of Pike street in Seattle.

#121 behind the Old Rainier Brewery

This was taken behind the old Rainier Brewery in Georgetown a neighborhood in south Seattle. I have a lot more images to post for Georgetown, keep watching this space.

Seven Windows - Georgetown

This photo was taken in south Seattle in a old neighborhood called Georgetown which was the location of the old Rainier brewery. It was developed in Adobe Camera Raw 3.7 and then edited in PSE4. The post processing included a contrast mask.

three windows & a door

Other than cleaning up the lines and making them straight (more or less) I did nothing to this but the usual grayscale adjustments. This was all developed in 8bit using PSE4. The color is the way I found it. This brick wall with three windows and a door is in the same general location as my previous five or six posts, all from the same shoot taken with a few minutes of each other.

under the viaduct

This shot was taken just across the street from previous posts 24 hour access and exit only. This building was just east of the viaduct a few feet and I assume the attractive decor is probably drippings from the viaduct. I did a google on the words: under the viaduct Seattle, and here are some of the things that came up.

A transient man was stabbed late Wednesday while in a tent under the Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle police reported.

A 29-year-old woman was stabbed Sunday afternoon under the viaduct during an attempted rape in a parked car, the Seattle police reported.

Woman assaulted under viaduct 4/10/2007

Under the shadow of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle police officers Katrina Stuckey and Andrew West seize a crack pipe and a rock of cocaine from a woman ...

Exit Only

Don't enter this door. There is no door knob. There is a sign attached to the inside of the door. Notice the screws holding the edges and the center of the sign. I have not seen the sign but it is there. A sign doesn't have to be seen to exist [quote from Sartre here]. We see evidence of the sign but not the sign itself [quote from Saussure here].

Color was left as found. Didn't mess with the color.
