Freeway Park "Leaps" the Freeway

Freeway Park & Freeway

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

It's Leap Day! In this photo you glimpse part of a park and Convention Center built over a major interstate, effectively leaping a deep gorge and reconnecting neighborhoods that became separated when a swath of freeway cut through. The idea began In 1961 when about 100 concerned residents marched in protest of the proposed freeway gorge that would be created by I-5, separating First Hill from downtown. Among those marching that day was civic leader and art patron Anne Gould Hauberg, daughter of University of Washington school of architecture founder and chair, Carl Gould. She continued to advocate for a "lid over the ditch" solution until it became a reality. The freeway was completed in 1967, and by 1976 the "lid over the ditch" was finally in place in the form of beautiful and serene "Freeway Park," designed by Angela Danadjieva of Lawrence Halprin & Associates. Freeway Park became the first of its kind in landscape architecture. I love the feeling when I'm driving through that section of freeway and see the "brutalist" design above and the hanging plants that dangle down to give the hardscape a garden green feeling. Since Freeway Park's development, the Washington State Convention & Trade Center has also been built over the freeway (that's the green glass you see a snippit of) and is now incorporated into the Freeway Park complex.

. . .That's what the front of her sweatshirt said in big white letters. This is a Seattle woman I saw roller blading on a Greenlake path in the late afternoon winter sun. She might be a member of a religious sect or order, or she might dress according to customs from another region of the world or just be doing her own thing. Nice to see her out and active.

Branches & Arches: 601st SDP Post!

Branches & Arches

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

Like yesterday's image, here are a couple of familiar structures that I glimpsed a bit differently than they are often photographed. I liked the different effect it gave. These are two of the arches from the Pacific Science Center, originally the United States Science Pavilion at the 1962 Century 21 Exhibition for which the Space Needle was built. They and the entire science pavilion were designed by Seattle native and UW graduate Minoru Yamasaki. He is most well known for designing the twin towers of NYC's World Trade Center. Yamsaki was fascinated with arch designs, incorporating them into the surface design of several building exteriors. These types of structures and design motifs always remind me of "the atomic age," "the space age" and the influence that science had upon architecture at the time, spawning the daring shapes seen in Googie architecture and design. For another view of Yamasaki's arches, click my More Seattle Stuff page.

Hawk & Two Bald Eagles Circle U Village Apple Store

Hawk (Doesn't Appear to be a Redtail)

Maybe they got word that Microsoft was trying to pick off Apple (as in Macs & iPods) or something? I don't know. What I do know is some gulls and crows were making quite a ruckus overhead at University Village shopping center. When I turned toward the noise and looked up, there were two bald eagles and this hawk all spiraling above the Apple store. To see the eagles, please click here to go to my More Seattle Stuff page. ID on the hawk would be much appreciated. It doesn't appear to be a red tail. I've never seen eagles and hawks soaring in close proximity before, and above an upscale shopping center!

I like the one on the left. You? It has a kind of retro "Betsy Johnson meets Seattle casual chic" feel. And you thought we only wore outdoor chic and grunge! These are designs from Luly Yang Couture. Eric of PDP often posts fashion display windows from Paris, and although fashion design may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Seattle, it is an art form that is alive and well here.

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

A couple days ago I showed you the salvaged columns used as the centerpieces for a park. This photo shows two circa 1908 brick buildings once used as warehouses that were left intact and joined by a common atrium to create a wonderful new space. It's a very pleasant place to enter, and I always enjoy the light in the created courtyard between these original structures. I took this photo at night because of the graphic elements that caught my eye from outside on 2nd Ave near the corner of King Street. This renovation was a project by Ralph Anderson of Anderson Koch and Duarte and is known as Court in the Square.

This is a sample of Nancy Blum's lovely floral hatchcover design. It seems there is always art underfoot in Seattle. (Ms. Blum's flowery designs are also to be found in a beautiful wall installation at the SeaTac Airport.) This is a color photo of her City Light City Bright motif shot at night down by the waterfront in available light, with no post processing. You might remember this other fantastic hatchcover design by Nathan Jackson, called "Keet,"Tlingit word for killer whale. There are other designs out there, so keep your eyes peeled.

Plymouth Pillars Park

These giant limestone pillars were salvaged from the demolition of Plymouth Congregational Church in 1966 when I-5 freeway construction went through the Pike/Pine corridore. They now serve as the centerpiece of Plymouth Pillars Park and frame the view seen in yesterday's photo. Note the Authentic Pacific Northwest moss at the top of the pillars. . .and that's the south face!

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

A couple years ago I was stopped at the light at Boren & Pike at night staring through the four giant columns of Pillars Park that were erected in the 1960s. Down the slope toward the Needle I could see Elephant Carwash's pink neon sign turning and sparkling way down there, and I thought to myself, "I've got to get a good lens and come back here for this shot on a clear night." Well, now I have the lens, but hey, that view's not going to happen again due to that building going up on the right. Dang. The pillars of Plymouth Pillars Park were intended to frame this view of the slope down to the Denny regrade, up Queen Anne and out to the Olympic Mountains. When the cranes finish their work, what will be in view?

George Washington's Profile

George

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

Wishing everyone in the USA a restful President's Day, a national holiday in the States. President's Day was conceived as a Monday observance of what was once two holidays, Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays. Washington state was named for George Washington, the first President of the USA. His easy to recognized sharp profile adorns this sculpture installation in Freeway Park, adjacent to the Washington State Trade and Convention Center. The park and convention center are an amazing complex built right over a major interstate freeway, I-5, along which you can also see George's profile outlining the numbers of state highways on traffic signs.

It might interest you to know that one of our own City Daily Photo Blog family members is a cousin in President Abraham Lincoln's family tree, and bears the same name. Our Abraham Lincoln is a talented artist and photographer with a long history in publishing, rather than a politician, and you can see his Brookville, Illinois blog here. Happy Monday, everyone!

Sea Serpent Sculpture Gone from Shilshole Jetty

MYSTERY!:  What Happened to the Shilshole Bay Marina Jetty's Sea Serpent????

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

Here's a mystery for you: I was taking some photos of the Olympics when I looked down at several boats heading out of Shilshole Bay Marina. I noticed that the whimsical huge sea serpent sculpture that undulated atop the jetty seems to be gone. In the upper left of this photo you can see jagged bits of metal sticking up where the sculpture had been mounted for years. Anyone know what's up with that? The broken looking remains don't seem to indicate its gone for scheduled maintenance.

At the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park, the glowing artwork panels called "Seattle Cloud Cover" are under a backdrop of nighttime Seattle cloud cover. The Park is now one year old and much enjoyed by city residents and visitors. That's a speeding train in the right lower corner. . .well, actually a lumbering freight train, but moving! And I notice the "SAM" letters are a new addition to the end of the cantilevered overlook with the bell underneath.

Love & Loss in Seattle

Love & Loss in Seattle

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

The new Washington Mutual building, visible from the waterfront, often features whimsical window patterns at holidays. For Halloween they lighted windows in a jack o'lantern pattern, last Valentine's day there was a giant heart, and for this Valentine's Day I heard that the word LOVE is spelled out. I remembered that building was prominently in the background in some shots I took last spring and summer of the Love & Loss sculpture installation at the Olympic Sculpture Park. So, I thought I would try to photograph the "&" from the sculpture superimposed on the LOVE of the building and make a recombined Love & Loss valentine for you. One problem. . .by the time I could get away to shoot, the lights were turned off in the building and there was no LOVE. . .sigh. So, here you have just the ampersand wearing the top of the Needle as a sparkley little hat. You can see the dimmed LOVE building and a photo of my love's hand resting on the "O" of the Love & Loss Sculpture by Roy McMakin by clicking my More Seattle Stuff page.

St. Mark's Seen from Eastlake

St. Mark's Seen from Eastlake

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

I was standing just down the slope a bit on a path behind St. Mark's Cathedral when I took yesterday's photo. St. Mark's is a huge, spare concrete structure visible from all over the city. It boasts not only a lively and welcoming faith community, a splendid organ, a labyrinth, a small prayer chapel, and a bookstore, but is much beloved for its 53 year tradition of a Sunday evening Gregorian chant service from 9:30 to 10:00 PM called Compline. The Office of Compline has been wildly popular, especially with high school and university students, some 400 to 600 or so gathering informally in pews, sitting or reclining on the alter steps and in the isles. The beautifully sung service has served as a favorite cheap date night destination for three generations now. Wherever you are on the planet, you can listen live every Sunday at 9:30 PM Pacific Time by clicking here to hear why this little bedtime service sung by 15 guys in a big concrete cathedral on a hill in Seattle became a local tradition that has spread to many other choirs in far flung places.

Here's a little fun exercise while you finish your coffee: You are a screenwriter and this photo is a still taken during filming of your work. Using only the clues, elements and characters that you find in this Seattle photo, write a a brief storyline or scenario. Extra points for plausibility and humor! If you must introduce new characters to make your Seattle story work, they must be familiar characters making cameo appearances from the television shows Grey's Anatomy, Frasier, or Here Come the Brides, or the movies Firewall or Sleepless in Seattle. Have fun with it and share your storyline in the comments section.

The beautiful 1926 Camlin Apartment Hotel on 9th Ave. was refurbished as time share vacation apartments five years ago. That sign on top is a much beloved downtown sight at night. The exterior features lovely Tudor revival terracotta architectural details. That whole top floor that looks like wedding cake iceing was once a huge penthouse suite! The Camlin is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Once known for it's lovely high rise views of Elliot Bay out the back, neighboring towers being constructed will make the the old girl's original 11 stories seem pretty diminutive now.

Last night over 5000 people packed into the warehouse at Pier 30 for a campaign rally with Senator Hillary Clinton, and many more were turned away for lack of room. Today Senator Barack Obama will hold a noontime Stand for Change rally at Key arena, doors open at 11 AM. And this evening Senator John McCain will be at the Weston for a fund raising dinner at 6 PM, and afterward meet campaign volunteers and the public, leaving by 9 PM. Our Washington caucuses are tomorrow, and they should be lively! These posters by a local artist (if you know the person, let me know) were distributed by the artist last fall and someone completely covered four concrete pillars at the north end of the Ballard Bridge where it passes over Leary Way. Paris Daily Photo recently featured a collage by artist and skateboarder Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant fame who had a show of his street art at a Paris gallery, and who has designed 3 official Obama posters, but these pictured here are not his design.

Lets have an abstract today. In a light industry and commercial zone along the ship canal I came upon a truck bed parked in the median of the road, full of colorful materials.

Just Another Day

Three Bundled Against the Wind

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

Here in the USA today it is Super Tuesday. It's also Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday. So that makes it Super Fat Tuesday! (sorry :-} couldn't resist). Neither of these facts has major bearing on Seattle today, though. It's just a cold windy February day here that started with showers. Still, we get out. This couple in Belltown even makes sure their dog has a bit of extra warmth. There did used to be a well attended celebration of Mardi Gras sponsored by bars, clubs, and eateries in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. It became a yearly event, attracting big crowds starting a little over 30 years ago. But in 2001 the big party turned way ugly with multiple sexual assaults, random beatings, and a full on riot. A horrible chapter in Seattle history punctuated a few hours later by a major earthquake that destroyed the brick facades of many of the buildings in the area of the riots. The 6.8 Nisqualy quake was such a shock it sort of granted the community partial amnesia about the rioting in which one man who tried to help a woman being beaten was himself attacked and died. A few bars in the area today are advertising Mardi Gras events, but there is no more huge party. And as for Super Tuesday, Washington is not one of the states with a primary today. Ours is on February 19, and our caucuses are this coming Saturday the 9th.

Now if you'd like to see THE city that IS celebrating Mardi Gras in a big way today, take a look at my buddy Steve's New Orleans Daily Photo.

Floatplane Takeoff (was "Seaplane")

A common sight (and noise) for those living on and around Lake Union is floatplanes that take off and land there. This very familiar plane to Seattle television viewers came into view above some houseboat roofs in the Eastlake neighborhood while I was out shooting. It's "Maggie," the KING 5 TV Evening Magazine plane. Kind of funny how it is lifting off in front of market rival KCPQ 13 Fox TV headquarters visible behind that line of boats on the west shore.

Forming Their Own Canals

Photo & Text Copyright 2008 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

. . .well, the Space Needle, usually, but that's already in view on this page. Ah then, here is something else folks think of: Houseboats , like Tom Hank's portrayed living onboard in Sleepless in Seattle. Lake Union is a body of water in the center of Seattle that hundreds of people call home. They live on the water in houseboats (really floating houses) or really snugly in liveaboard sailboats and such. Houseboat communities form around long docks/walkways jutting out into the water from the shore. There are still a few funky artisan and gypsy-like houseboats out there, but most now are quite elaborate and I've seen some with near million dollar price tags. Outside most houseboats/floating homes you will see a small boat such as a kayak, canoe, dinghy, or motor boat. Visitors to Seattle might enjoy this tour given by an insider (I've not taken it and don't know the person, but it looks to be fun and informative). The community pictured here is in Eastlake, and that's the I-5 Bridge in view beyond. Now, 135 other City Daily Photo Bloggers around the globe would like to show you what their cities are known for.
