Gray Sky Blues


Gray Sky Blues
Photo & Text Copyright 2009 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.
Looking up at a plane and the rain cloud filled sky through the wires above. Typical winter skyscape on Seattle's Capitol Hill. This is a color photo, and a true example of our winter grayness. The blue neon of Victrola Coffee's sign spells out the antidote of choice to seasonal affective disorder. It's only a matter of time before they start fortifying the local java with vitamin D like they do milk :-). This is another in my Seattle Skies series which feature planes in flight.

  3. The wires really impart a sense of being trapped in the grayness. But this too shall pass. And if not there are always full-spectrum lights : ) Fabulous shot.

  4. Nicely shot and yes the blue of the coffee sign is a surprise.

  5. Victrola is a great place to get in out of the rain, or sun, most anytime. Hope you've got your umbrella handy, Kim. Looks like we're in for a soaking for a few day.

    Thanks for your b'day well wishes. It's been fun and I'm looking forward to another year.

    ciao,
    Chuck

  6. great composition with airplane between the lines - I often manage to get one in my shots and it adds that extra depth to the close item.

  7. Did you just perch there until a plane appeared? Very clever.

  8. Neat sign. Neat shot.
    «Louis'» "caffeine meter" is in the red zone.
    Time to get up and get a cup of his "Holy Cow Blend"!

  9. That definitely is the Seattle I used to know and love. When I lived there, I had to take a road trip every February to places which had sun and snow. Otherwise, February was definitely the longest month in the year.
