    Hey, I used to work there! I almost didn’t recognize the city from that angle. Great shot, makes me miss my old home.

    My time in Los Angeles has taught me that I am, alas, not a big city person. Nonetheless, I have a physical, visceral response to pictures of Seattle. Love that town.

    Incidentally, my recent attempts to thwart insomnia have included hanging up blackout fabric (or blackout curtains if you’re feeling fancy), and buying a humidifier. Both help. There has been some sleep, and it has been pretty okay.

    Harbor Island is on the left with the cranes. A man-made island in the river delta. I know a guy who’s a longshoreman there. Great benefits. Cruise ship probably Alaska-bound in the upper right. The Washington State Ferries are below the clouds in the middle. You can walk on and they are a great way to get a tour of Puget Sound. You can also take a ferry from there to Victoria, BC. Smith Tower in the lower-center slightly left of center is the oldest “skyscraper” in town and at one time was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Pretty much everything to the left of that divide was water when Seattle was first settled by whites after 1850. Native Americans were here since the end of the last ice age.

    By the way, the river slightly out of frame to the left is part of the Mt. Rainier watershed. So when Mt. Rainier erupts, that will all be molten lava.

    Seattle is one of my favorite places to fly in and out of. The color of the Sound paired with the over abundance of green and urban architecture makes those pesky take offs (and landings) a bit more manageable. On a sunny day, even better.
    I have loved seeing Seattle through your camera lens and words. Reminds me of why I moved here nearly 20 years ago.
