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.

Bus Stop on a Steep Street
The art is level, but the sidewalk slopes downhill. . . A colorfully painted bus shelter brightens spirits in the First Hill neighborhood.

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?

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.
