Those cloudy days can sometimes work wonders. What I really like up here, is when there's this layer of clouds out toward the horizon and then they end and the sun blasts across the city under the cloud's edge. Great lighting.Thank you for sharing!! Such a beautiful sunset
That's beautiful! It's nice to have sun. It's been raining here.Just to show I'm still alive even if this thread and the entire Fold 9 subforum is pretty much DEAD!
A quick shot on the bike ride. Overlooking the SR-520 floating bridge and a chilly Fall day. Yes, the bridge floats. It is supported by a large number of large concrete floating chambers. That's the University District skyline to the right and the Olympic Mts hiding in the clouds.

Where is HERE?That's beautiful! It's nice to have sun. It's been raining here.
Ouch! I'm sorry about that storm.Where is HERE?
Well, on Sat there were 50-60 mph winds and lots of downed trees and powerlines (luckily not us) and it rained a ton.
I once spent 6 weeks in Cleveland. I then, a long time ago, worked for AT&T Long Lines. The Cleveland office had computer time that our group (six of us) needed. Off we were shipped. I did go to attend the Cleveland Orchestra and I think I recall going to the art museum. Also chided by my boss for flying out in dungaree's and representing AT&T that way. I assured him I never told anybody I worked for AT&T!!!!!!! I was a Cobol programmer at the time. AT&T and I never exactly saw eye to eye, to say the least.Ouch! I'm sorry about that storm.
I live in Cleveland, Ohio where it's been raining since Friday.
AT&T didn't see eye to eye with me in terms of reception. When I had a landline I had no service. AT&T guy said, "Rats chewed the line." Then I had multiple issues with dropped calls on their mobile service. I got rid of the landline years ago and switched my mobile provider too. I see that AT&T is phasing out copper wire landlines now.I once spent 6 weeks in Cleveland. I then, a long time ago, worked for AT&T Long Lines.

A visit to the National Nordic Museum for their Faux Flora exhibition - absolutely fascinating. The large panels were actually videos with movement. These large panels were also accompanied by ''bell jar" type containers that contained manufactured scents to accompany the faux flowers.

Those are beautiful exhibits. I'd love to visit that museum.More from the Nordic Museum
There was this large glass/led Aurora display that showed actual captured images during Northern Lights displays. The unit has to warm up and displays that rainbow arrangement first.

As I've possibly written before, the museum was a local museum celebrating Seattle's Nordic hordes! It was located in a old public school with lots of character. Then they went big time and developed this wonderful building with regular changes of exhibits. Then it was made a NATIONAL museum. And no, I don't have any Nordic heritage but my friend, seated in front of the flowing grass, does have Swedish roots - her grandma still had the accent!Those are beautiful exhibits. I'd love to visit that museum.
