Quintessential Seattle Lifestyle

Taken in late Autumn of 2005, this picture shows some of the floating houses found in Seattle's Portage Bay. Beyond the bridge in the background lies Lake Washington.


Taken in July 2007, a view of the same houses seen from a passing boat.

Sleepless in Seattle

I didn't realize it at the time but I evidently caught an image of the floating house that appeared in the movie Sleepless in Seattle. There it is beneath and slightly to the left of the BOATWORLD sign.

More such houses follow.

Twilight

Sunset over Santa Ynez Valley

Sunset over the Santa Ynez Valley. A large canyon brush fire was burning in the Zaca Canyon / Figueroa Canyon area. The wind shifted several hours before this image was taken causing the smoke plume to flow toward the coast. The dark band in the middle is that smoke.

Check out this high altitude aerial of the fires.
