It has taken 5 days of morning to night work, but I have finally gotten my site gutted and re-designed. I’m still holding to the 3-column view and designed all the graphics myself. What’s more, the code under neath is all mine, too.
Seattle is nicely situated. It is surrounded by mounts, flanked by water, and pocked by parks. You don’t have to drive into the country for a little nature. It’s all within arms reach.
Seattle is by far one of my favorite cities. It ranks up there with San Francisco. It has nice mix of quirk, sophistication, green and concrete.
I have lived here for eight years and this was my first time attending this wonderful event. It was a great parade. The floats were all drawn by leg. There were dancers of all types. Children of all ages. And bodies is various states of dress. The only rule was that anyone not wearing fabric had to be covered in body paint. Oh yeah, I’m going again.
A couple of years ago, I had the chance to spend a few nights in Portland on the company dime. As my days were spent in training, I could only get out at night. Without a tripod, some of the images are a little blurry, but I think the glow of the evening lights make up for it.
Recently, I had a digital camera modified for infrared photography. Here are some of the early results.
Ballard is a neighborhood in Seattle. It has a distinct Norwegian/Swedish flavor. You can buy lutefisk (gag) here. There are also little viking here and there. Ballard also still has some red brick roads. What is very nice is that it has some great access to the water. The images below were taken from docks, waterway locks, and waterside parks. It’s relaxing to sniff a bit of sea air from time to time.
