Pioneer Square Totem Pole : Even though the weather has been less than cooperative the last couple of days, the sun did come out a bit in the late morning and early afternoon. Taking pictures of Pike Place Market is a bit of tourist's safe gambit: everyone does it. Nevertheless, the red neon signs against a blue sky and white clouds is hard to pass up. Totem poles in Seattle are an interesting thing. None of the native Americans actually built them in this area. The one in Pioneer Square was actually "stolen" by some Americans who mistakenly took it as abandoned when in fact the tribe was out on an extended hunt. And in good ol' American style decided not to return after learning of their error. It has been less than two-hundred years that totem pole construction was introduced to the Seattle region vis-a-vis the then proprietor of the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. A European who made a proposition to the local native Americans that if they could reproduce the totem poles in pictures he gave them that he and they could profit from it. And they did just that. Nowadays people come to Seattle identifying these monoliths with the area when in fact they belong rightfully to native Americans much further north well into what is now known as Canada. But hey, like the politically correct of today when has the truth really ever mattered?

Kingston, WA : We finally had a bit more sun today in the Pacific Northwest. I took the opportunity to spend the afternoon in Kingston, WA. I had originally planned on driving through the <a href="http://pics.wardosworld.com/Around-Seattle/Olympic-Peninsula/">Olympic Peninsula</a> today; but, I ultimately decided against this when I passed 1+ hour car-line on the way to the <a href="http://pics.wardosworld.com/Around-Seattle/Ferries">ferries</a>. I instead walked onto the ferry from <a href="http://pics.wardosworld.com/Around-Seattle/Edmonds-WA/">Edmonds, WA</a>. Once in Kingston I enjoyed their local farmers' market before taking walking along the public shoreline extending north from the pier. I eventually found myself a place in the shade and promptly feel asleep. When I was not thoroughly enjoy the sound of the waves on the shore a few feet from my feet I used the chance to take some photographs. Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I did taking them. There is actually too much sun to be useful for many of these shots. I really need a lens hood and polarizing filter; however, the camera I use (Canon S5 IS) really is at its limits in these situations.

INSCAPE : Seattle's former INS (Immigrations & Naturalization Services) building, built in 1931, is situated just south of Uwajimaya in the International District. Some months ago is re-opened to artists and non-profit organizations as means of helping to develop a loose federation of like-minded folks to come together to support art. On the weekend of October 16 and 17th it celebrated its re-christening, opening it doors to everyone to come and explore the space and artists currently residing therein.
