Brick Wall and Shutter, Glo's

Brick Wall and Shutter, Glo’s. Seattle, Washington. June 21, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

A brick wall with a few colorfully painted bricks and a gray shutter – front of Glo’s Restaurant, Seattle, Washington.

I was in the Seattle area this past weekend – and, among other things, this meant that I got my Fathers Day breakfast at my favorite breakfast place in Seattle, Glo’s in the Capitol Hill area. (The smoked salmon eggs benedict is almost worth the flight to Seattle all by itself.) There is always a wait for a table at Glo’s since it is both small and popular. While waiting for our table we first visited a nearby book store and then wandered back to the restaurant. I noticed the odd painting bricks and the juxtaposition with the darker gray shutter while waiting to be called.

The view from the bleacher seats at AT&T Park during a Giants v. Angels game, San Francisco, California (color version).

I shot this during my mid-game photographic wandering – something I do at every Giants game I attend. (On this night, the photography was better than the baseball. While I was out wandering about the score went from 1-0 to 8-1, and in favor of the visiting Angels.) This photograph looks out toward the field from the inexpensive bleacher seating near center field. (Reposted in color at the request of a friend.)

Brick Building and San Francisco Skyline

Brick Building and San Francisco Skyline

Black and white photograph of older brick buildings with the more modern skyline of downtown San Francisco in the distance.

The same brick building that appeared in some night and evening photographs posted earlier appears in the foreground of this photograph. Beyond in the more modern downtown San Francisco skyline – if you look closely you can see a bit of the landmark Transamerica Pyramid peeking over the top of another building in the center of the image. The photograph was made very late in the day, within a shot interval just before sunset when the light streams in from the left at a very low angle.
