This is my last picture from the harbor in Seattle – well at least for now, I can’t promise I won’t go back. I posted the the ferris wheel the other day and that was on the left hand side of the pier. This shot was taken on the right hand side, looking back towards Seattle.
The boats moored at dock are vessels from the Argosy fleet right next to pier 55. The boats were rocking from side to side and you can see this as the mast of the sail boat has a lot of motion blur. This happened as it was getting dark so I had a longer than desired exposure.
In the far distance is Centurylink Field which is the stadium that’s the home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders (that’s an American Football team and a American Soccer team for any Brit’s who read this). Just out of shot past Centurylink Field is Safeco Field the Seattle Mariners stadium – our baseball team (I figured I should mention that too so people know we have all three).
While I was there a few people came onto the peer to take pictures too. It was kind of funny as I’m there set up with my tripod and huge camera bag taking loads of pictures and people walk up, pull out their iPhone, take a snap, look at it and say “awesome” and then walk away! They must think I’m nuts as I was there for ages. There was one other guy there with a camera on a tripod who was there when I arrived and was still there when I left. His camera was pointing in the same direction the whole time and he was sitting there waiting – I’m not sure what for but I couldn’t be bothered to wait and see or ask him. I was happy with my 150 pictures.
Anyway, tomorrow I’ll move onto something else.
