Day 6: Space Needle - Donna's fear
18 août 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
As a photographer/artist we always hope to capture the emotions and feelings of the subject. Can you sense the fear in her face? Donna hates being on top of these high buildings, especially those with glass floors. I was surprised when she wanted to take pictures of us lying down.

This series is devoted to Donna and the progress she is making in over-coming her fear of heights.

There is one image she is sitting on a bench, holding on to the edge very tight. I think she left an impression on the bench.

Donna lived in Seattle area over 30 years ago. This was not her first visit to the Space Needle. The biggest thing for her is how much the area has changed in the past thirty years.

This was my first time on top of the Space Needle. We were up there for over two hours. Had an over priced drink and sat and watch the city pass by us. Beautiful views. A bucket list item checked off the box for me.En savoir plus

I totally loved the Space Needle. The views from the top are amazing. The people watching just a delight. I do wish we had the time to watch the sunset, but we didn’t.

Here are some assorted images I captured for atop the Space Needle.En savoir plus

VoyageurSpectacular vistas! Stood at the bottom of it, but was too cheap to spend the money to go up. Couldn’t put it on my expense account!

Day 6: Ferry ride Seattle to Bremerton
18 août 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Since we got into Seattle late, we planned to catch the 5:30 pm ferry back to Bremerton - that wasn’t going to happen. We took the 7:50 pm ferry back.

It’s the end of the day - we are tired.

Here are some images I took on the ferry journey back.En savoir plus

Day 7: ‘A Sea Day' in Bremerton, WA
19 août 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
I apologize to everyone for not keeping up with this adventure’s Penguin’s postings. We have been running 100 mph non-stop. To our Viking Neptune friend’s from our World Cruise you can related to ‘Needing a Sea Day.’ Today is our Sea Day. We are staying in a cute little airbnb redone attic in Bremerton, Washington. If you can make it up the tight step stair case you are golden. We chose this unit because it is centrally located, and great price - A ferry ride into Seattle (We did that yesterday) and a 90 minute drive to Olympic National Park (planned for tomorrow).

My goal for the rest of the day is to get caught up on my posts and try to get everyone up to date on our adventures. The airbnb host Karna is an artist, we plan on taking an art class with her later today as well.

This morning we slept in (no alarm) walked into town had a breakfast burrito and coffee at “Cups Expresso & Cafe.” Got a couple of supplies, and walked back to the unit. Talked with Karna about art classes.

So, my goal for the next hour or so is to work backwards, and get caught up on our Pacific Northwest Adventure.En savoir plus

Day 8: Olympic National Park Jr. Rangers
20 août 2024, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
As always our first goal is to get the park’s Junior Ranger Badge book and start to complete the projects, and determine what we need to do to earn our Junior Ranger Badge for Olympic National Park.

Once we completed all the tasks and interviewed Ranger Simon, he was honored to swear us in and present us with our Junior Ranger Badges for Olympic National Park.

Olympic National Park is really beautiful. The photography opportunities are boundless. Here are some of the images I captured.En savoir plus

Today Donna and I visited the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. In “The Hot Shop” we got to watch the process of glass pitchers being made.

VoyageurSaw something like this at a glass factory when the family went skiing in Austria. Amazing how many artisans it can take for each procedure.

Day 10: Low key day, not much to report.
22 août 2024, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F
On Thursday we checked out of our airbnb at noontime. Then headed towards SeaTac to check in at a hotel near the airport. All went fine,.

Once we were settled into our room, took at small drive, ending up in Kent, Washington, There we found a home brew and cafe place had a decent lunch. Then back to the hotel to watch the DNC, and get some rest for our long boring Friday travel day.

Our ten day Northwest adventure was just long enough and we saw a lot of stuff. We visited two states (Washington & Oregon), Visited and earned our Junior Ranger Badges at five National Parks; Crater Lake, Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Park.

Other points of interest we visited included: Multnomah Falls, Smith Rock, Museum of Glass, The Gum Wall, Pikes Market, The Space Needle, and a ferry ride.

I got to take a decent amount of pictures. Donna and I both had a art class with Karna an amazing instructor.

Even those this was a short holiday we did and saw a lot and had a great time. It is been our pleasure to share our adventure with each of you. I still have the photos from Day 9 at Olympic National Park to post.
