More Geraldene's Counter
A neighborhood cafe in the Columbia City neighborhood serving fresh, well prepared American fare.
A Cuppa Chili at Geraldine's Counter
My dinner partner had a light appitite but gobbled this up after the first "ummm ummm" bight. The Mac & Cheese with jalepenos was really nice. This place reminds me a bit of Rick & Anne's in Berkeley.

No Naked Lights
Tanker worker, cupa joe in hand, heads for some stairs on The City of Dubrovnik. What a "Naked Light" is I can only guess, but on a tanker, I'm sure it has to do with fire prevention.

More Tuba Dude's View
This is what the tuba player was looking out on from his bench on the bluff. The cruise ship was speeding on its way out the bay into the Sound and on to Alaska.

More Human-Eating Salmon Slide
She needed some mom support to go down the people-eating slide. The snout of the salmon is distorted like that of one near the end of the spawning stage. Carkeek Park is home of Piper's Creek and other tributaaries which salmon will find their way to during the fall.

More Discovery Park
This little hummer held its own in a tiff with another one. Then they both rested. Now what do humming birds have to fight about, I wonder?
Swallow Swoop
Evening feeding on insects all about the meadow. They are so swift, I'm genuinely surprised I captured this shot.

More Tuscany Apartments: Stucco Relief Decoration
've never seen this sort of ornamentation before. Does anyone know what this technique is called or how it is achieved?
Detail of Tilework Around Groundfloor Cafeteria Window
I noticed students form Northwest School heading into this cafeteria for what looks like some good eats at lunchtime.

The Sorento Hotel
A seven story 4 star hotel at the top of First Hill, a welcome change from tourist areas and a quieter setting than downtown.

Broadway Dance Step Hesitation
Dancing in the streets is a popular pastime on Broadway in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Curious, but not wanting to look too stupid, we stand and look at the Fox Trot Weave steps outside the restaurant where we ate dinner. (There are 8 different sets of dance steps along a two block section of Broadway, made and installed in the sidewalk by a sculpture inspired by the old Arther Murray dance studio intructions, and enjoyed by the neighborhood for many years).

There are theories about modern artists and architects having been affected by Froeber's kindergarten "gifts" or materials, such as pattern blocks or parquet tiles/mosaic pieces. However they came by their geometric influences, 30s through 70s architecture has a futuristic and decidedly bold take. Perahps Bucky Fulleresque?

Sunset Peek-a-Boo #6

I shot a similar view during the summer at sunrise and wondered on another visit in the winter at sunset what difference the light this time of day might make when I compared the two images. What do you think? Gehry's shingles capture so much color, and it shifts dramatically with the light.

Charming Entry
Here is the entrace to the apartment building that is slated to be replaced by a contemporary condo complex. I can just picture someone from the 1930s emerging from it, like Errol Flynn and Mary Pickford. There are many such vintage apartment buildings around Seattle.

Business Meeting Seattle Style
Okay, so we had snow flurries here yesterday and today, and these people are holding a meeting outdoors to accommodate the pooches. I panned out to show that, no, this isn't Paris--the only other city whose citizens seem this dedicated to their dogs.

This is what the couple on the observation deck of Smith Tower could see from where they were standing. The Space Needle is straight ahead. I liked the square windows and negative/positive lines of windows, plus the reflection. Lines and strips.

Whew!
The sea plane looked like it would collide with the building from my point of view. I was glad to see it had flown past the north side of the building and had emerged beyond! Who manages seaplane flight plans. . .seems a bit too close for comfort.

High Dive Day
The Bittersweets are touring from their SF Bay Area home base and landing at the High Dive Saturday night Jan 20 at 10 PM. Their music is great. I shot this image of the club's sign one morning in summer.

What's Your Flavor?

How much DNA is left in that gum? Some people tend to manipulate an image rather than just stick a coin in a wad. Can you see the blue flower?
