Odd picture tonight.  I was walking around Pike Place Market looking for inspiration when I saw this sign saying “More Shops”.  I immediately thought of Lisa!  Those of you that know Lisa understand that for her shopping is an almost religious experience, so I thought I’d capture the shot.

This area is under Pike Place Market.  If you haven’t visited before the food and flower market itself is on the same level as the road and sidewalk.  But you can “kind-a” go downstairs underneath the food/flower bit and find loads of small eclectic stores.  They sell some weird stuff down there, lot’s of ornaments and specialist shopping (my Dad would say “It’s all toot”, but it’s fun to check out).

This sign and lights were on the roof of the middle floor as you go down a ramp to the bottom floor.  So I’m standing almost at sign height (although back quite a long way).  There were quite a lot of people milling about but I wasn’t interested in any of them.  In fact for this shot I wasn’t interested in anything other than the lights and signs.  Hence the composition.

So a little strange but I like and Lisa does too, so this is tonight’s posting.

I should also point out today that we are now officially one third through the year!  Yes it’s day 122 so I only have to do all this two more times, just as a warning after that I will be moving to a weekly posting (this image a day is killing me).

Apparently last night Master Chief went off to make some cocktails and never came back.  Carter found him today encased in ice!  We have no idea what happened.
