Some West Coast Pictures
When in San Diego once I was lucky enough to be staying in a hotel that had a view to die for -- as well as a small patio that gave my room a panoramic sweep of the harbor and the bridge that connect an island to the mainland.
People are always more interesting than buildings and parks. This young man was traveling from San Diego to Boston by himself. He showed great self reliance and would fit himself into any situation. Here he is using my Macintosh Duo. He took to it with ease.
I feel like saying "They promised me a view of the Grand Canyon and all I got was some snow on these crummy mountains in Arizona."
If you don't get this picture, don't worry about it: "This is art, you aren't supposed to enjoy it." Actually this is one side of one tower of the twin tower oval Marriott in San Diego on the harbor. The play of light, shadow and color have always fascinated me.
This is the pontoon bridge that connect Seattle with Mercer Island. It seems fascinating that such a band of concrete and steel could actually float. But Archimedes knew about what he was "Eureka-ing." Hopefully the engineers do too.
On a day with the right sky color, it can be difficult to separate the sky from the glass on this Bellevue, Washington building. Reflective surfaces have always had their interest for me. Sometimes I just photograph what is reflected in glass, metal, water, whatever. Then I get over it.
More reflections. The breaking of straight lines into broken lines is intriguing. A grid pattern distorted on another grid pattern.
Ok, ok. Enough of the grids distorting grids. It appeals to my math instincts.
