Today’s monochrome is a little different; Sarah and I walked through downtown Elgin and took photos of doorways. My original intention was to layer 24 downtown doorways (cause it’s the 24th, you know?) into one montage, but once I layered more than 6 or 8 images, enough details were gone that you couldn’t identify anything in particular. So I adjusted to 3 creations, 7 images each … and I really like the outcome.
I suppose at this point, I’m kind of known for my “reflection distorted in glass” photos, but I really love this one. The monochrome makes the textures and details really stand out, and I absolutely love the architectural elements of the building as well.
Our human sense of scale is often inadequate for what is around us; that tugboat is huge, longer than a semi truck. But that tugboat pales in comparison to even the small “lake” that it’s floating in, Lake Union.
Kerry Park was on several Youtube “must see” lists for Seattle, and you can see why. It offers a wonderful view of the skyline, and, on a clear day, a pretty great view of Mount Ranier.
However, don’t plan to spend an afternoon there! 
There’s only street parking, and I think there are maybe 10 benches to sit on. Sarah and I had an afternoon planned for this park; oh well, it gave us a chance to see other sights instead!
