Arches

In addition to a cyclops, the Gas Works Park had a very nice set of concrete arches, which I found to be almost ecclesiastical…

Cyclops

I was in Seattle last month for the American Planning Association’s national conference, which is pretty much as exciting as it sounds.

On a urban-planning themed city tour, I got to see the Gas Works Park, which is on the location of a former (pay close attention here, because it starts to get complicated) gas works. It’s been a park since the mid-1970s, and is sort of famous for having kept part of the gas works structures in place.

Which I suppose means that the cyclops was somehow part of gas production.

Street/Tree

I was sort of in love with the way the light reflected by the sinking sun bounced over onto the skinny tree trunk.

Naturally, this scene took my mind straight to a Neil Young song; I was helpless.

The daunting task

I don’t know how much of the wall that worker was painting with a roller, but if it was the entire thing, it he/she probably didn’t finish in one day.
