Got this shot on the Key Bridge facing Georgetown in DC. Managed to get a blue hour shot with the sunsetting in the background. Worked in Lightroom to bring out the sky and light trails.
Was, anyway. Sits directly across the street from the building in the previous photo.

Taken off the rickety jetty at Chew Weld, Georgetown, Penang. This wobbly structure and the old fishing village on stilts that surrounds it, sits incongrously alongside the modern structures of downtown Penang.
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.
The tool bench at the Georgetown Steamplant Museum appears to be missing some tools. The plant last produced electricity in 1953, 70 years ago.
Sun setting over a framers corn field. About the only bright spot as far as the weather is concerned. Been a crappy few days weather wise here in southern Ontario.
Big windows and steep stairs at the Georgetown Steam Plant. Originally constructed in 1906, t's a museum now and is open once a month for visitors.
Happy Window Wednesday!
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 Georgetown Steam Plant was originally constructed in 1906 to power Seattle streetcars. As hydropower developed, this plant was used less and less. It last produced electricity in 1953. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1983.
Constructed in 1906 by the Seattle Electric Company the steam plant was powered by coal. Within a few years, hydropower eclipsed coal powered electricity and the plant gradually fell into disuse. It was last actively used in 1953 but was fired up occasionally for testing until the early 1970's.
Seattle City Light owns the steam plant but leases it to the Steam Plant Museum. The museum opens the building for tours once a month.
The Georgetown Steamplant was orginally constructed in 1906 to power streetcars in Seattle. As hydropower developed, the plant received less use. It last producted electricity in 1953. This scene is lit by old fashioned lightbulbs and natural light.
This cottage was built in 1817 in Point Pleasant, Ohio. Ulysses S Grant was born here in 1822 but stayed less than a year before the family moved to Georgetown, Ohio. Now a museum, it's located in the small community where Indian Creek joins the Ohio River. The Clermont County site shows evidence of once being as tannery.
