What you're looking at is a small portion of the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, Washington. It's a design by the famous Frank O. Gehry. Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD and Sigma 30/1.4 Art lens.

In the Skagit Valley of Washington State there is a tiny and delightful town called Edison. From time-to-time Bald Eagles gather there. I suppose the fields, farms and streams surrounding the town support plenty of food for them at certain times of the year. Anyway, this picture is from two...

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.

I've been working on refreshing my website over the past couple of days and one of my pages is called "Googie Meets Gehry." It's a series of pictures of the Seattle Space Needle and the Museum of Pop Culture, both of which are prominent structures in Seattle Center. "Googie" is a type of...

Time to get those trees trimmed I'd say. A home in Seattle. (Infrared with Sigma Quattro SD, Sigma 30/1.4 ART and Hoya R72 filter.)

The Winter's annual defoliation provides a gradual reveal: It's the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. (An infrared image taken with a Sigma Quattro SD, Sigma 30/1.4 ART lens and a Hoya R72 filter)

Discovery Park in Seattle was once a military installation, Ft. Lawton, which I think was opened in 1900. The buildings there are all ex-military housing (officers' homes) or administration. The mountains on the horizon are the Olympics, so in this view you are seeing the Olympic Peninsula...

A deciduous tree of some species against the backdrop of the Frank Gehry-designed Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Digital infrared with Sigma Quattro SD (IR Cut filter removed), Sigma 30/1.4 ART lens, and Hoya R72 filter.

This is one of three solar boilers at the Ivanpah Solar Generating System in the Mojave Desert of California. It's just over the state line from Nevada. Sadly the boilers are so hot that birds that fly too close get fried. (A nice feature of the newly-redesigned RPF is that naming a post...

They seem to me to have a martial bearing, at least to me. Hence the title. Tulips are a big thing in the Skagit Valley of Washington State (which is where I took this picture) and they're in full bloom this time of year. I used this one yesterday as my 59th weekly print for Ukraine. Sigma...

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...
