Our Seattle vacation host took us through Pike Place, where they sling fish and sell chocolate and many other things. I attempted a few pictures.
First, the only bug crawling across an expanse of concrete. Sure, it seems a bit irrelevant, but my Arts Editor felt the shadow was a lot of fun.
And our host caught me at it.
My Arts Editor also fell in love with this effigy on the left. Then there was this shot on the right, which I’m not actually sure I shot from Pike Place. Perhaps that should be in the Gasworks Park collection. Or perhaps from our host’s apartment.
Finally, my favorites from Pike Place.
I wish this was slightly more in focus.
And this was shot through a miror – you can see my paunch on the right, and there’s our host on the left. It was taken at Pigalle Place, a fancy French joint with excellent food.
I did take a number of other pictures, mostly of the bay’s port area, but using the zoom function of a smartphone camera leads to an unacceptable level of graininess, unfortunately. Here’s an example of a reject.
