In Seattle's Lincoln Park, winged insects don't stand a chance if they venture near this maze of arachnid mesh.

October 3, 2015 - View From Gasworks

A pair of cyclists pause from their ride on the Burke-Gilman Trail to take in the view at Gasworks Park on the shores of Lake Union.  The 19 acre park on the north shore of Lake Union was opened to the public in 1975.  The park was created from polluted grounds of the last coal gasification plants in the US.  Many parts of the original plant remain on the ground.  The park was originally to be named after the Seattle Council person Myrtle Edwards who spearheaded the city's acquisition of the property.  Her family asked that her name be removed from the park after the decision to leave parts of the plant on the park.  A park on Elliott Bay has since been named in her honor.

July 11, 2015 - Dry Falls

South of the largest electric producing facilities in the US, the Grand Coulee Dam, is a scar left on the landscape of central Washington from the ice age.  At the end of the last ice age a catastrophic flood drove water equivalent to ten times the flow of all the current rivers on earth combined over the 400 foot rock face.  With the retreat of the ice the Columbia River stayed in its current course leaving these falls dry.
