Mare Island Shops at Night

At least once a year I join The Nocturnes (the San Francisco Bay Area night photographers’ group led by Tim Baskerville) to photograph the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. This amazing historical site near Vallejo, California was the first US Navy shipyard on the west coast and dates to the mid-1800s. It was active until the late 1990s. It is a night photographer’s paradise with wonderful old buildings ranging form officers’ homes to dry docks to huge cranes to wonderful old brick factory buildings

Sometimes one simply cannot resist the opportunity for a really awful pun… (It may not be clear on your monitor, but the object at the lower right corner is a large sculpture of an eye.)

This seems like a typical downtown winter Seattle street scene to me: gray, wet but not pouring rain, people continuing about their business, and so forth. Photographed from the new Seattle Art Museum entrance.
