In my early-morning wanderings at Pike Place Market, I spotted the tables at this restaurant all ready for the day’s customers. Every table was arranged exactly the same way – it was sort of a meditation.

(Please excuse the interruption to my regular flow of non-populated shots. Things will be back to normal tomorrow.)

And so the day begins

If you ask me (which I realize you did not), the very best time to visit the famous Pike Place Market is early in the morning. How else can you see things like this, without vendors or shoppers?

Important Scheduling Note: you can get coffee as early as 6:00 a.m.

Driftwood, again

My sincere thanks to Ehpem and his spouse for being such gracious hosts for my brief visit to Victoria. They were generous with their time and their hospitality.

They were also generous about showing me the things they love about their city. Like this scene, which is just a short walk from their house.

I hope to someday return the favor and show them around West Texas, which of course has less driftwood but more sky.

Like ships in the…day

Ehpem and his spouse (who also blogs) took me out to explore the Ogden Point breakwater, which has also been featured on Ehpem’s blog. (Here are some of Ehpem’s shots of the breakwater prior to the installation of railings.)

Driftwood. Breakwater. Canada is so exotic!

Anyway.

The lower levels of the breakwater provide an interesting angle from which to observe people walking above. And to see some of them moving with great determination in opposite directions.
