Seattle Waterfront

Here’s a few more photos I took on the waterfront before we boarded the ferry. I always like watching those massive cargo ships come in and unload. I think they’re coming from China but I’m not positive. That movie I mentioned a while back, Manufactured Landscapes has some really interesting shots of them being loaded in China and eventually broken down in Bangladesh.

I also think the giant red cranes look an awful lot like dinosaurs : )

Have a good weekend!

I’m a little surprised to see cargo ships on waterfront, because we don’t have any, at least not where people likes to call waterfront. I believe they’re about 2-3KM away from the ferry terminal here. I really like the building on far left.

Yeah I’m not sure what that building is.. I think its right next to the Seattle Art Museum, though, which is a really interesting building that escaped my photo. The black one on the far right is the tallest downtown, and I’ve heard that you can go to the top for only $5 so I might make an adventure of it soon.

You did a really nice job of the exposure of that first shot. It can kinda tricky with horizon landscapes. Nice job! =)

Thanks John! By the way, you’ll have to take a look at my AE-1 when I see you and tell me if I’m crazy or it really isn’t working! Haha

cargo ships and harbors are fascinating. very nice photos.

there was a harbor a bit like that in Helsinki city center too just while ago, but they now moved cranes and all a bit further. pity, cause i think they are beautiful in their own way too.

Bummer!
Out of curiousity, do the cranes in Helsinki look the same as the red dinosaurs in Seattle?

I like the first picture!!! It almost looks like the objects in the bottom right corner of the picture were photoshopped in! awesome! miss youuuuuuuu!
