That is Camano Island over there. (For unknown reasons folks 'round these parts all call it "ka-MEE-no".) IR with Sigma Quattro SD and Sigma 30/1.4.

The Winter of '20, I think. Maybe '21. Since I lived fairly nearby my daily exercise often included a walk through Seattle Center--where the Space Needle is--and I had plenty of opportunities to shoot pictures of it. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD, Sigma 30/1.4 and Hoya R72 filter.

The Columbia Tower is the tallest building in Seattle. Indeed, it is the tallest in all of Washington state. It reaches into the sky some 933 feet. However, it's only the 41st tallest in the USA. I submitted a few images to Black & White Magazine last year and three were selected and...

The Space Needle is the iconic landmark of the city of Seattle. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair. It stands 605 feet high and when built was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River. The Space Needle stands in Seattle Center, the park-like entertainment area that was also...

The Rainier Square Tower in Seattle is quite an interesting building. It sits adjacent to the Rainier Tower, designed by Minoru Yamasaki (the architect who designed World Trade Center in New York) which is famous for its tapered pedestal. When I moved to Seattle in 2020 the first building that...

Snow began falling here on Christmas Day. It made for a delightful White Christmas. It stayed on the ground a week or so. I took this image on December 28th when the sun had come out for a few hours. I was hoping then and still am that "harmony" characterizes our new year. (But hopeful doesn't...

I suppose it may look as if that second funnel is emitting steam or gas or something, at least it does to me. But it's not. That's actually just a cloud above the funnel. These funnels are mere air vents at the north end of the underground portion of Highway 99 in Seattle. There is an identical...

I was relaxing outside with a beer on Sunday afternoon. It was a glorious day here. I glanced up from my beer and saw these cirrus clouds and felt inspired to photograph them. They had similar qualities to my beer in that they dissipated quickly but were quite wonderful while they lasted.
