Hold on to your boats
Salmon Ladder
Water Front
The view of the Seattle’s skyline from across the harbor always gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Organic Hot Apple Cider
Pike Place
From the other side.
Public Market
I love the neon light market sign at night.
Outside
That feeling when it’s too cold and gray to go outside.
Alpenglow Cloud
That glow early in the morning.
Light Wheel
At night, the lit up Seattle Great Wheel sticks out against Elliot Bay like a sore thumb.
Public Market
Coming down here always reminds of my parents taking me and my brother down here every weekend to get vegetables and hopefully a piroshky or a gyro or some sushi!
Seattle Skyline
I love the northwest.
Wheel
Even though the Seattle Great Wheel only showed up after I moved away, when I find myself picturing the Seattle waterfront lately the wheel (along with all of Bertha’s equipment) figures prominently.
Hipster Library?
There are three ways to interpret the title:
- Seattle is a city known (deservedly or not) for its hipsters. This is Central Library of the Seattle Public Library system, and could thus earn the title based on location alone.
- The building was designed by Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus in part a celebration of printed books: “Despite the arrival of the 21st century and the ‘digital age,’ people still respond to books printed on paper.” The appreciation for classic technology could be accused of being hip.
- I found the gold and cyan colors of the early-morning shot reminded me of archecture more vintage (i.e. 1970’s) than morning, and went “full Instagram” in processing it. Perhaps I’m the hipster?
Glass Overhang
I’ve posted shots of the intense geometry of the Seattle Public Library before, but I thought this shot captured a new facet of its oddness: an ordinary if elegant entrance and ground floor that suddenly shifts to an impossible angle as the building rises.
