The Georgetown Steam Plant was originally constructed in 1906 for the purpose of powering the Seattle Streetcar system. It has been retired since 1953. The plant is now a museum and is open to the public the second Saturday of each month.
This little barn was constructed with the boards laid flat instead of vertically, which is a feature I have seen on granaries to add extra strength. Since this has a door and a boarded up window, maybe this was used as a granary with multiple bins inside. I like the location wth the Preuss Range in the background, including Meade Peak on the right, which is the highest mountain in Bear Lake County, Idaho.

The trend goes back to 2010, when the government of Penang commissioned the studio Sculpture At Work (sculptureatwork.com) to create a series of cartoon steel art pieces to decorate its capital providing a quirky counterpoint to the natural urban beauty of the city’s historic core.
Ran into this trombone player in DC (Georgetown to be exact). Took some B and W style shots of him playing. This guy ws playing along to pop songs (stuff by Bruno Mars and such). Got this one shot while he was taking break during his playing. Used a preset in Lightroom which really brought everything out and a grain effect to give a old-time style picture vibe.
