Causland Memorial Park

While visiting Anacortes, WA last weekend, we saw the most amazing natural rock mosaic structures in Causland Memorial Park. This appears to be a performance space.

Seattle skyline

Here’s a shot of Seattle approaching from the south, showing progress on the new tunnel construction. I think the yellow cylinders are where the tunnel boring started, moving north. At one time not so very long ago, the Smith Tower on the far right, the pointy one, was the tallest building in Seattle!

Fireboat

While on a cruise ship going to Bermuda, leaving the New York City harbor (see Lady Liberty post below), there was a fireboat looking scenic.

Fireboat in the harbor in NYC. The Empire State Building can be seen in the background. I used to work there, a long time ago!
