Seattle, Washington

[edit]

For my Washington State photography outside Seattle see User:Jmabel/Washington. Also, most of my uploads of archival material pertain to Washington State.

Animals

Animals in northern Tukwila

[edit]

There's this weird little big of Tukwila along the Duwamish River, carved out of Seattle mostly at Boeing's behest. I've gotten some pretty cool animal shots there.
Technically not Seattle, but I believe most people think of it as Seattle.

Art

[edit]
This stained glass window depicting Moses with the Tablets, now on the western side of the Schoenfeld-Gardner Chapel of Temple De Hirsch Sinai, Seattle, Washington, U.S. is one of the few surviving elements of the original 1908 Temple De Hirsch, where it was located on the east end over the Ark and Torah. It dates from c. 1908; a text at the bottom says "In memory of Fred Schwabacher the gift of his mother".

Oh, and one more panorama

[edit]

I really like this one. There's a tiny flaw at lower right, but otherwise seamless.
