More St. Mark's Windows
The huge windows of St. Mark's Cathedral, and the 1920s light fixtures consisting of a ring of 12 lights surrounding 3 central lights centered in a cross in a circle. Cheap date night is Sunday at 9:30 for the popular Compline service attended by hundreds of high school and college age young adults who lie on the floor or sit in the pews and listen quietly to the chant service.

More She Turned Down A Million
At age 86, apparently money has limited appeal. Meanwhile the commercial development continues to rise ever taller around three sides of this long-time Ballard resident's home.
In the Midst of Change
Everyone in Ballard is effectively surrounded by development. Change has come rapidly and only now as several projects near completion does it seem to be registering with residents just how altered the skyline of Ballard will be.
Surrounded
A senior woman in Ballard did not wish to sell her home to developers when they bought up the surrounding properties. She was a lone hold out.

Our cat checking out gifts under the tree finds Paris images by Eric of Paris Daily Photo fascenating. Lovely, but, drat! No ribbon on them to chew!

November 29 View of Needle Adorned with Christmas Tree Lights
The Space Needle decked out for the Christmas season dominates the view of the Seattle skyline on this cold, crisp night. The travel editor from Cooking Light magazine shot me a few interview questions several months ago, which was so nice. Who knew anyone at Cooking Light had reason to peek at my Seattle Daily Photo blog? In the December issue they are featuring Seattle as the number one city in their top 20 cities for healthy living. They were kind enough to mention SDP in the article along with some of my comments. The copy editor refers to Seattle Daily Photo as having several photographers, but it's just little ol' me. They went with Kerry Park lookout as the best photo spot out of the several I suggested and used a couple other things in other parts of the article. Kind of fun. So, here's the postcard view in salute to the editors of Cooking Light for honoring Seattle. Thanks so much!

Market Theater Box Office Window
Now gum is appearing in the box office entryway and beyond on wall going further south along the alley. Compare this shot with the one like it that I took last winter.
Market Theater Entryway Playbill Window
The gum wall installation continues around the corner into the entryway now.
This Providence
Market Theater Window, Post Alley. The gum is sparser to the south of the theater entryway, and more elaborate figures and letters are made in these areas.
Definitely Thicker
The original part of the gum wall has become too crowded to add to, so the blobs are slowly creeping south down the alley.

More Seattle Weather: Hail Outside My Door
Wow, it really poured on Friday afternoon, then the lightning with immediate thunder and a driving downpour of large hail stones. They piled up 2 inches deep outside my door within two minutes time.

Seattle City Hall
No, it's not the architect's model; this is the city hall seen from the top of the Sears Tower. I've shown you other features of this complex, but this gives you the full picture of this "green" campus. Yes, that is grass on the roof (the same architects helped plan the Ballard branch of the library, which also has a grass roof).
More City Hall Reflected: Seattle Old & New
Reflection of Smith Tower, the first skyscraper in Seattle, and City Hall, a "green" roofed, urban sustainability model of a city center.

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.
