Light and dark in Seattle, off Denny Way
I’ve driven by the glass boxy building that houses PATH – and I believe condos – at 2201 Westlake Ave. a few times in the evenings in recent weeks.
So, I thought I’d see how my basic digital camera would do in capturing the light and dark. Yes, I’m talking about Westlake in Seattle.
I know some people aren’t huge fans of glass boxy buildings. But I like them as part of a city’s landscape – especially in the Pacific Northwest, where natural light is always welcome.
Interestingly enough, I wrote about this building development years ago. Back then, as I recall, an automobile dealer used the plot of land - Land Rover, if my memory serves me correct.
Of course, before that and years ago, it was just a plot of land near Denny Park, Seattle’s first, which opened in 1884.
A 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.
Spotted in and around Seattle
My days continue to be busy. But I enjoy carrying my digital camera and taking pictures of bright lights and great signs. For example, this Bradlee sign has clean lettering and the right ring to it.
And this glowing red China Harbor sign catches people’s attention as they drive by Lake Union in Seattle. I’ve always been curious about lettering styles that try to copy the writing of Chinese characters.
Of course, the green words “The Best in Chinese Cuisine” are always inviting for people who are looking for a place to eat.
Finally, I’ve always been a fan of the words, “Team Seattle.” The truck belongs to a commercial company.
And if you’re a fan of Helvetica font, there’s a movie devoted to the topic.
Spotted at or near holiday parade in Seattle
The Smith Tower in downtown Seattle used to be one of the tallest buildings on the U.S. West Coast – and apparently in the world. The sun was last seen in the Seattle area, well, days ago.
My family and I once ate cupcakes (not with motorized wheels, of course) with ice cream in them. Sweet but delicious.
A tuba can always please a crowd – be it a large group or small. As I think about it, I’m sure people in Seattle still miss the popular guy known as Tuba Man.
