Hi Folks!

Kim asked me to guest spot for her on the blog while she enjoys some holiday travel. Like Kim, I gad about town with my camera a lot and shoot whatever strikes my fancy.

This scene caught my eye a few weeks ago down on Pier 66.

When taking photographs of Seattle's skyline, it can be a challenge to avoid the Space Needle - a challenge not unlike the one a moth would face if trying to avoid a lamp. But it can be done.

  2. Must really be a challenge if you have to take the shot through a peephole ;D

    Love the blues and roses in this photo!

  4. I like a photographic challenge. This is a terrific image, the perspective and the colour.

  5. Thanks, guys!

    This was a lucky find and almost an afterthought. I remember thinking, "What the heck - let's try this". So much for location scouting and careful planning! Sometimes it's all about chance.

  9. @ cara: there's so much to tell. right now, suffice it to say they're keeping my lap warm - which is much appreciated!

    @ Fredrik: it's some kind of modern sculpture. I leaned against it and propped my elbows on it to get this shot.
