I have a mountain of saturated lush rain forest green backlogged and more coming so I think now is a good time for a b&w. :-) Shot from atop Safeco Field the cranes of the Port of Seattle take pause to salute the coming sunset. The game was good too. :-)
Until opening day.... I know, around here it's SEAHAWWWWKS all the time, but at my house I grew up in Saint Louis and it's baseball 24\7. I have 50 shots from opening day last year that I deem flickr worthy but timing is everything so they lay wasted. I'm out of stuff until tomorrow so I'm tossing this one out there. I can't wait, I've lived to see the Cubs win, why not these bumbs?!!
A play area atop Safeco field offers a batting cage for the little ones and a nice view of the sunset over the Puget Sound.
I downloaded 360 shots, sent 330 to Lr, and have 87 in a folder. You may be seeing more from Opening day, I'll try to spread them out. :-)

Returned Sunday from a four-day marathon photography road trip to the Columbia River Gorge. On the way back I noticed the clouds were setting up for a pretty nice sunset and I was having a fierce internal debate about whether or not to stop somewhere to shoot it. On one hand, I had just hiked over 20 miles and taken about 2,000 images of creeks, waterfalls, and vistas. On the other hand, if I don't stop I'll cry like a baby as the best sunset ever unfolds out of my car window. So, with a tire-screeching, last-minute swerve onto the exit ramp, I decided to stop at this location just south of downtown Seattle--the only one I could get to in time to shoot the sunset. I was glad I did!
This brings up an interesting question--when you have 2,000 images from a recent trip, how do you pick which ones to process first? For me, I chose this one because it was easy to pick the composition from this location I wanted to process... there is only one! Decision: easy. Result: first one processed. Now for the hard part, picking which of the others to process!
A weekend closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct allowed for this sunset capture of Mount Rainier framed by the Seattle Great Wheel and the roofs of CenturyLink and Safeco Fields.
Cool picture of Safeco Field at sunset. Safeco is home of the Seattle Mariners and offers auto insurance, home insurance, and business insurance throughout the US.
Here is an early blue hour shot from a spot I've been to many times and shot from many angles, but for once I've manage to come away with something I like. I think the buildings in the foreground have an interesting shape that anchors the image in this instance.
Thanks for checking out my work I appreciate it.
I grew up in Saint Louis Missouri and have been to World Series games and there is nothing like it. I've lived up here in Washington State since 1990 and rooted for a team that has never been to the dance, much less won it. We have a legitimate chance.. Let's go Mariners!!!
FYI season standings of right now, Cardinals 1 Everyone else 0. :-)
The quintessential moment of opening day for me, I knew I had this in camera right away. this guy had moved to Boise and came back up this weekend to hawk programs, got me for five bucks and a dollar tip for the shot.
Ken Griffey is going into the HOF with the highest percentage of votes all time. should have been one hundred percent, but whateva!
Mariner's Play Ground
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
The Seattle Mariners have had their share of great players. They've also let go enough Hall of Famers to field their own All-Star Team.
They signed David Ortiz in 1992 when he was just 17 years old. After almost 4 years in their farm system they traded him the Minnesota Twins.

This Kenworth T680 represents the fully-loaded Kenworth T680 76-inch sleeper model with a PACCAR MX-13 engine Kenworth Truck Co. is providing to the country's top military veteran rookie driver as determined by an expert panel of judges. Providing a Kenworth T680 with PACCAR MX-13 engine to our country’s top military rookie driver will give him or her a kick-start in becoming an entrepreneur, says Jason Skoog, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing.
PACCAR and Kenworth employee volunteers will collect cash donations and accept new children’s book donations for Page Ahead at the Mariners home game against the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 25. The volunteer employees will be gathered at the Kenworth T880 Mariners truck, which is equipped with a 500-hp PACCAR MX-13 engine. The truck and volunteers will be located in the Parking Plaza next to the Safeco Field Parking Garage on the south side of Edgar Martinez Drive South. For every Mariners run batted in, the PACCAR Foundation makes a financial donation to Page Ahead. By season’s end, the PACCAR Foundation will have donated $675,000 to Page Ahead since the program’s inception, enough to purchase 135,000 new children’s books. PACCAR employees also have purchased and contributed more than 19,000 new children’s books in the past eight years.
