November 28, 2013 - Possession Point

It was an unusually warm and clear Thanksgiving Day at Possession Point on the Southeast end of Whidbey Island.  The horns of the ferries could be heard across the water as they felt their way through the fog covering the waters of Puget Sound's Saratoga Passage on this holiday afternoon. However, on the hill above the water and fog the snow covered Cascades could be seen.

November 3, 2013 - Salmon Waves

The salmon runs are mostly over for the year, but one can still see a Coho or two making their way from Puget Sound up the fish ladder at the Hiram M. Chittanden locks and into the fresh water that leads to Lake Washington and the spawning grounds beyond.  Above the fish ladder they will pass Salmon Waves, an aluminum sculpture by Paul Sorrey.  The description provided for the sculpture says the waves evoke elements found in nature while their construction "reflects the nuts-and-bolts functionality and engineering precision of the Locks structure."

As viewed from Kerry Park at dusk, the fog moves back into Seattle, engulfing the Space Needle and much of the Seattle skyline.

October 23, 2013 - The Fog Needle

 

 

The Space Needle took advantage of the fog brought by a low pressure system to be a little playful, mysterious and modest.  Most of the day it has remain hidden in the fog and even when the sun finally broke through and most of the fog peeled away, the city's iconic image continued playing a game of  peek-a-boo.
