The Joys … and Pains … of Moving
Posted September 30th, 2008 in [hide]The sheer amount of stuff I’ve managed to accumulate shows the travel bug hasn’t bit me, at least not very hard, lately. In not-very-much-younger days, I refused to own more than I could fit in a car, and managed to see the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, the open prairie, and the desert in the southwest.
Exploring Washington state more intimately has opened a new world. Driving cross-continent has given way to kayaking with the sea monsters in Lake Union. Across brackish Puget Sound the Olympics continuing to rise up, becoming the Himalaya of tomorrow.
Unfortunately, moving cuts into time on the trails, leaving me with nothing photographic to share for a couple of months now, but can be worth it nonetheless.
In the last photo, above, an Argosy cruise ship leaves faint streaks above the lake while the stars leave their trails above. Queen Anne hill is lit up like a million candles with the Aurora Bridge leading north. Trees can be seen growing out of Gas Works Park; on a clear day, the Olympic Mountains stand above the bridge; tonight they’re hiding in the darkness.
Nice photo of the Anasazi Cliff Dwellers, I bet many people haven’t been to that area
I was wondering what happened to you - awesome pictures as usual!
There is something particular to Seattle, WA. Once you visit it you cant miss a most obscure shot of a location in and around that town. I was there once and I knew the place from your photos before I got to read where it was taken. I really wish to move there someday.

I guess that was a rather odd way to complement your pictures.
It’s the atmosphere of the place that you showed in them that certainly aided the recognition.
