Urban: September 2005 Archives
I don't even know what this building is actually called; it's recognizable enough even without a name. Taken from a hotel room in downtown San Francisco.
Spotted on the street near a tram stop along the Embarcadero in San Francisco.
Well, in trying to get in my favorite photos from two trips that happened within two weeks of each other, I'm just mixing Seattle with San Francisco, Olympic National Park with Yosemite, and more. Hope you don't all get confused. :)
This is the oft-photographed Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, shot on a gray and foggy day (hence the washed out sky) in mid-August.
Another shot taken at Gasworks Park in Seattle. As I was pulling this one up from the folder of photos from my trip, I realized I was missing a set of RAW images I took later that night at Gasworks. Apparently my download software does not catch RAW files when it does an automatic download, and I deleted the card before I thought to check all the photos. GRR! My night shot of Gasworks and the Seattle skyline are sadly gone. They looked good in the LCD too...
Elsewhere, I'm doing this week, so check it out.
Gasworks Park in Seattle, shot an hour or two before sunset. I loved the randomness of this park -- lush green fields with random outcroppings of gas tanks and large plumbing. Very neat.
Apologies if you couldn't get to this site yesterday afternoon and evening. The power outage in Los Angeles took out my hosting company's servers for a while. A bunch of people were bitching and moaning about it on the company's blog, but hey, you can't control all random utility workers who might cut cables. I still love you !

Old-fashioned fire alarm near the very touristy Pier 39 in San Francisco. I'm not sure if this still worked or not.
In other news, I'm in and around Seattle for the next few days, seeing some sights, taking in a baseball game, and hitting the trails around Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Park. The photoblog's on auto-pilot, and I'll be back next Wednesday.
