Seattle in Neon

The fifth best thing in Seattle, for me, is its neon signs. There are so many wonderful neon signs in Seattle, from the typical hum drum to the outrageous, from the small to the huge. They are located all over town. There is even a neon graveyard and the start of a museum.

One of my ongoing personal projects is to document them. I am photographing the signs in context and up close, sometimes this is the same photo, but other times this will be a couple of photographs. Throughout the rest of the year I will be posting these signs. I have actually posted one neon sign already, the Top Pot Doughnuts sign.
Here is a photo of Ralph's Grocery & Deli.

In a couple of weeks I will also be documenting my favorite thing about Seattle, but you will have to wait for that.

Some more Seattle


Here is a photo of Seattle's Elliot Bay taken from the Magnolia are. Though it looks like a sunrise or sunset, this was actually taken just after 11:00 am.

Seattle Sunset

Here are a couple Seattle sunset photos from last November. I just missed getting this sunset with a full moon by a day. Still, I think this is pretty good for a fall photo. Especially since there is actual sunlight involved.

Tesla cars in Seattle

A Tesla electric car dealership opened up in Seattle. Located in the South Lake Union area. At least they chose a really cool old brick building for their location. Probably not a cheap location either, but when a car goes for at least $100,000.00 it better be in a cool building.

Top Pot Doughnuts



The best doughnuts in Seattle, Top Pot Doughnuts. And also one of the best buildings near downtown, in my humble opinion. It is a great place to go have a doughnut with some tea while sitting in a great environment. One of my top 3 best things in Seattle, one of the others is KEXP.

Sheepherder's Carvings Part Five



Here are the two people giving the tour of the different carvings at the end of Eagle Creek Road approximately 6 miles north of Ketchum, ID. John Peavey and Ivan Swaner filled us in on the local history about the sheepherder carvings. The last photo shows both of them by one of the carvings.
