rss feedA Seattle intersection I’ve always liked
I’ll get to adding longer posts soon. But I just wanted to note some colors and shapes that I’ve always enjoyed seeing in Seattle.
I’ve always liked how the red and blue match and even if the afternoon sunlight washed out the blue numbers against the red wall.
And there’s the curve to the building as well as the gray pole’s height, the green street sign cutting across and white-and-blue sign in the background.
If you’re familiar with Seattle, it’s the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and South Dearborn Street.
Going west on Dearborn can take you to the International District, downtown and to the city’s sports stadiums. Going south on Rainier can take you to Columbia City, Beacon Hill and Seward Park.
The top part of the sign – the one with the classic American car outlined in neon – slowly spins around.
It reminds me of what a friend once said years ago about the Zen quality of two friends throwing a plastic disc on an open field.
It’s just back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
In the case of this sign, it’s just round and round, round and round, round and round.
Plus, as we all know, when it’s sunny in the Seattle area, it’s good to take advantage of the day especially when it’s February.
If you’re interested in other scenes I like in the Seattle area and have photographed, have a look (and please, only if you have time): here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
I know time is important. I appreciate you visiting the blog.
