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.

Ballard Locks
Seattle, WA
The Ballard Locks are a popular destination in Seattle. A visit offers a variety of activities. If you would like more details and photos about my recent visit, check out my post Ballard Locks: Boats, Salmon, Gardens, and History on my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
A 360-foot-long concrete pontoon for the new SR 520 floating bridge was transported through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks on May 15, 2013.
A pair of Titans, the Pacific Titan and the Ocean Titan at the Ballard Locks getting ready to enter Puget Sound from Lake Union.
This looks like it was shot from a boat leaving the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle. That looks like a saw mill on Lake Union in the background. 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.

Ballard Locks sculpture installation. Best viewed at night when the salmon, created by blue lights within each wave come out and surround the space.
This looks like a tug boat pulling a log boom to one of the mills on Lake Union in Seattle. You can see a sign on the shore that says Violet Ray, that's a brand of gasoline that was sold on the west coast. This is a still from a reel of 16mm movie film dated 1939.

Brugmansia suaveolens.
Psychotropic, toxic. Fragrant at night. Smelling a blossom by the bed can induce strange dreams.
No picking here.

There are so many lovely flowers in the Botanical Gardens at the Ballard Locks. The bees were having a wonderful time in the sunshine. I wish I could remember what this flower is...

Young Steelhead, photographed through the fish ladder window at the Ballard Locks (aka Hiram M. Chittenden Locks). This ladder is a transitional space for smolt heading out to Puget Sound, and for the returning, spawning salmon -- all making adjustments from salt to fresh water or vice versa. This Steelhead was seeking and catching various organisms pushing through the currents of the ladder.
The grain/noise is an element of shooting at high ISO through a window with some algae discoloration, no additional textures applied to the photo. This is the actual color as viewed through those conditions. I applied some NR in Lightroom, added a bit of contrast, and increased whites and blacks to bring out the fish against the background.
The first of the SR 520 floating bridge pontoons completed its journey around the Olympic Peninsula and through the Puget Sound on Aug. 11, 2012 and now floats in Lake Washington near Medina. Construction workers will build the new SR 520 roadway on top of this longitudinal pontoon.
Crews floated in the first longitudinal pontoon for the new SR 520 bridge through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks on August 11, 2012. Arriving just after 6 p.m., the entire operation took around 45 minutes and was observed by hundreds of spectators enjoying the sunny Saturday in Seattle, Washington. This pontoon is the first of 77 that will make their way from their casting basins to Lake Washington during the next two years.
