This looks like it's shot from a boat entering the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle from the Puget Sound. This is a still from a reel of 16mm movie film dated 1939. The film is Kodak Safety Film with the oo code that indicates a date of 1919, 1939, 1959 or 1979. Since 16mm film didn't come out until 1923 that eliminates the 1919 date. By the look of lake union with the saw mill I think that eliminates the 1959 and 1979 dates. The film is in very bad condition, broken sprocket holes, wrinkled and suffering from vinegar syndrome (VS). All I could do with it is take these still images, it wouldn't feed through a projector very well.
Last chance for a M/V Sealth-y selfie at the locks. The M/V Sealth is towed by the West Point tugboat in the front and the Westrac II tugboat in the back.

Ewen Ross ex Charlies Charm II ex Harbor Patrol Boat, Wilma J.
I first came across this boat at the terminal as the Wilma J. She still had most of her patrol safety gear and the name plaque with description. (still on boat I see)
Then one day she ended up at the boatyard Hibernia is moored. The new owner statred to remodel her. She moved to Bainbridge shorty after the boat work. I believe that's when the owner changed her name to Charlies Charm II.
I think she might have new owners now. New name and we didn't recognize anyone on the boat today. She looks good and moves right along..
The male of this Seattle Osprey pair was a bit late in arriving back to the platform. The female came home a couple of weeks ago and normally, the two of them show up within just a few days of each other. All is now happy at Osprey station, Ballard Locks.
Kennewick coming from WSF Eagle Harbor facility traversed the Ballard Locks on its way to Lake Union Drydrock for a scheduled maintenance period.
Finally found a colony in our state. Purple Martins aren't everywhere in WA State like they are in the midwest and eastern U.S. but slowly they're becoming more nad more common. There are several colonies in Seattle, one in Everett, and a colony or two in lower puget sound regions like Olympia and Tacoma area.
This is Shilshole Bay next to the Ballard Elks Club lodge in Seattle, WA.

The Salmon Bay Bridge, also known as Bridge No. 4, is a single-leaf bascule bridge across Seattle's Salmon Bay from Interbay to Ballard, just west of Commodore Park. It carries the main line of the BNSF Railway on its way north to Everett and south to King Street Station and Seattle's Industrial District. Built in 1914 by the Great Northern Railway, it has an opening span of 61 meters (200 feet) and has two tracks. (Wikipedia)
The locks is also home to the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden — a beautiful park-like setting and a great escape from the city.
You can lounge on the grass and watch the boats go by. The Ballard Locks also features a visitor’s center with interpretive exhibits and a gift shop. Visiting hours for the locks and surrounding garden is 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. year-round. The fish ladder is open 7 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. year-round. Admission is free.
After the locks were built in 1911, landscape architect Carl English of the United States Army Corps of Engineers transformed the construction site into garden in an English landscape style. All told, he spent 43 years planting and tending the gardens. Today they contain more than 500 species and 1,500 varieties of plants from around the world, including fan palms, oaks, Mexican pines, rhododendrons, and a fine display of roses. The gardens also exhibit an extensive fuchsia display and a special section for lilies in season.
This series of images is of stainless steel sculptures intended to highlight the passage of salmon through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks where these seven sculptures are located.
I noticed this raven kept swooping down on people as they walked through the entrance to the Ballard Locks. I stood there forever waiting for it to swoop down on me. When I gave up it immediately flew at me and I didn't get a decent shot. Try as I might to save the photo this is what I ended up doing. I just couldn't bring myself to delete it. A wicked Raven! That's it for the night. I've had an extremely busy and frustrating day so this is the type photos I post on days like that! Hope your tomorrow is great and I hope my tomorrow is better than today! I promise to catch up with you all tomorrow!

I was all excited as I leaned in to take the picture of these two bee's on the same flower. This bully rolled up in and scared off the other two, but not before it serendipitously flew into my focal plane just as I hit the shutter release. It's always better to be lucky than good.

"Salmon Waves," artist Paul Sorey, 2001, is located at the Hiram M. Chittenden Memorial Locks, 32nd Avenue NW and NW 54th Street in Ballard.
It took several crew members to carefully navigate the 11,000 ton concrete bridge pontoon through the locks on May 15, 2013. Once assembled, this pontoon will be part of the floating foundation for the new SR 520 bridge.
Finally found a colony in our state. Purple Martins aren't everywhere in WA State like they are in the midwest and eastern U.S. but slowly they're becoming more nad more common. There are several colonies in Seattle, one in Everett, and a colony or two in lower puget sound regions like Olympia and Tacoma area.
The young in this colony are probably 3 weeks or so from fledging. The martins are some of the last arriving martins int he North America. A few make it up to BC, Canada area.
This is Shilshole Bay next to the Ballard Elks Club lodge in Seattle, WA.
A television camera crew came to the locks to get footage of the project milestone on May 15, 2013. In all, the process to navigate the pontoon through the locks took about an hour.
This was an unscheduled Seattle Urban Sketchers Gathering because we had Tommy Kane in town and sketched with us at this Seattle landmark.
