View from underneath the Magnolia Bridge

This picture requires some explanation. This is a picture of the underside of a bridge in Seattle called the Magnolia Bridge.

I took this picture some time ago, and I stored it on a memory card. I totally forgot about it, and then found it when I went back looking through my photos.

When I took this picture, I didn't even notice the guy there. I took this picture from a platform on the stairs, and then I walked down the stairs.

He was a nice guy. He told me that I wasn't the first person with a camera to walk around in this area taking pictures. He kept offering me a bag of Frito Lay Chili Cheese chips.

I don't know what the rules are for taking pictures of people, so I try to avoid it. I would really like to photograph people, and my favorite photographers take pictures of people.

But, like I said, I don't know how it works. I might take this down later, but I still like it. You can see another picture from under this bridge here.


Water on plant near the Fremont Bridge

This is a picture of water drops on a plant in Seattle. You can see Seattle's Fremont Bridge there in the background.

I took this picture just yesterday - 05/30/2010.

This was from a group of photos I posted yesterday.

The Fremont branch of the Seattle public library

This is another one of those pictures that I remember as being better than it actually was.

Regardless, in my memory at least, this one is really good.

This picture is of the Fremont branch of the Seattle public library. Fremont is a neighborhood in Seattle.

This building was designed by an architect named Daniel Riggs Huntington, who, despite having designed numerous buildings in the Seattle area, appears to lack a wikipedia page of his own.

The same architect also designed local schools and the Washington Street Boat Landing. I nominate this man for his own wikipedia page.

Fremont Fire Station structure at 3829 Linden Avenue North

This is why I find the hyper local blogs so interesting. I randomly read this article one day, which is about the structure pictured above at 3829 Linden Avenue North in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood.

I am interested in historical preservation, and I even found my way towards reading this document from the city of Seattle.

This is a picture of an old portion of a firehouse in Seattle. The architect of this building was a man named Daniel Riggs Huntington. This was the same architect who designed the Fremont, Green Lake, and University District libraries (guess he was a fan of Spanish Tile roofs!).

You can find more pictures of this structure at 3829 Linden Avenue North here.

This is what the building looked like in 1936.

View from the pier at Golden Gardens

This picture is of a pier at a park in Seattle called Golden Gardens. In the distance, you can see the Olympic Mountain range and the waters of Puget Sound.

View of University Bridge from the water at North Passage Point Park



This is a picture that I like - I took it just recently. This picture was taken at a place in Seattle called the North Passage Point Park. This park is right by Ivar's Salmon House and Voula's Offshore Cafe, if you know the area.

The bridge in the background is called the University Bridge.
