The ever changing Freeway Park. The grounds crew does an amazing job keeping the park looking good. Spring is on the way it seems, blooms abound.
Once out of the park, the next thing to catch my eye was this:
A little dose of urban reality.
Or how Rebecca and I walked to the Henry Art Gallery and back. Whew. Almost 8 miles.
The Henry had the goods, per usual. Their website here. We caught the last day of Joe Park and Jennifer Zwick’s sweet installation at The Gift Shop. That’s when you walk in the front door, then you get Eirik Johnson: Sawdust Mountain, Polaroids: Mapplethorpe – and that’s just upstairs. Downstairs is anchored by Vortexhibition Polyphonica. There’s more. Go see.
On the way back we caught the last day of Claire Cowie’s show at Gage Academy. Glad we went and so was Regina Hackett . Thanks to Joey Veltkamp for the reminder.
Anywho. Pics from our walk.
Now for the way back…
That’s it. Too exhausted to take anymore pics.
Love the cranes and old water towers. I have seen pictures of an apartment in New York that had converted a tower into a living space.
Great antenna.
The latest offering at my doorstep.
Freeway Park that is. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was beautiful. Today – not so much.
Start looking up and these things are everywhere.
It’s very hard to tell that your in a park in downtown Seattle except for the really tall buildings and freeway noise. That’s 2 Union Square rising up behind the light pole.
This one has rectangular fixtures. I assume that these poles are used to mitigate the scariness factor when it gets dark. It can be a bit creepy at night, but I feel safe . It’s usually pretty busy with people walking to and from work. They also have officers patrolling the park constantly.
