Scenes Of Seattle

The docks of Salmon Bay, looking west from Ballard Bridge.

Scene at South Lake Union: Saint Patrick and The Queen. Seattle’s own, Queen Underwood, that is: 9-time USA National Boxing Champion, 2010 World Champion Bronze Medalist, 2012 Olympics time-trial winner, and first lightweight to represent the United States in the debut of Women’s Boxing at the 2012 Olympics. Queen is beauty and grace encapsulated. And, even Saints and Queens have to pay for public parking in Seattle.

Boys being boys on the 22ft-tall cowboy boots at Oxbow Park in Georgetown, a neighborhood south of Downtown.

Originally used at the Hat 'n' Boots gas station in Georgetown, the 44ft-wide hat was the roof of the station, and the 22ft-tall boots were the men's and women's rest-rooms, with the doors located on the sides of the boots. The station fell victim to a loss of traffic resulting from the building of the I-5 Interstate in the '60s. The hat and boots were moved to Oxbow Park in 2003, and restored to original condition in 2005.

Fans signing the "12" flag that flew atop the Space Needle during the game against Green Bay. The flag was torn during the big wind storm that night, has been retired, and will be presented to the Seahawks upon their return to Seattle after the Super Bowl.

Stop me and say “Hey” when you see me out-and-about on the streets, at an event, a festival, or a concert.  I’ll be the one with the camera!
