everpresent gray

Everypresent gray. If you look at the last four pictures you see what I saw when I moved to Tacoma for High School. Years ago. Hasn't changed. Everpresent gray. If you move to the area between the Olympics and the Cascades that is what you can expect. For about 9 months out of the year.

 

I usually do at least some color correction on images. Not on this one. That is straight from the camera sensor. That gray. That soul-sucking hide-the-sun anti-vitamin-D everpresent gray that earns Seattle top honors.

 

I've often wondered, if there is any truth to the time of your birth affecting your personality (Leo, Gemini, Pisces, etc) that if where you lived during formative times of your life (born, graduated, married, etc) affects your personality as well. Surely it does, right?

 

Now wait. This isn't to say I don't love the Pacific Northwest. I do! But it should come with a warning label that lets you know it will take your body six to twelve months to adjust. To live again. It is that real. Particularly if you relocate from the big-sky south! The people are awesome! The weather is very much less than awesome.

 

So there it is. Proof that the Northwest is still, and will always will be, everpresent gray.
