Quaint looking setting, sailboats secured against the weather in Eagle Harbor, nestled against the fir trees on Puget Sound. Sometimes while driving around in downtown Seattle, among the sleek skyscrapers and all that urban living has to offer, one momentarily forgets that our region is tied tightly to the maritime industry and leisure activities. While waiting for the return ferry trip back to Seattle from Bainbridge Island, the view of Eagle Harbor was lovely and peaceful.
Hoping you and yours have an enjoyable, long holiday weekend. Labor Day, is an extra day of rest and for remembrance of the contribution of the skills, ingenuity and dedication of the working man in America. While not technically correct, I think for most of us it also signals the end of summer.
I always look forward to cooler weather, especially upon returning to work. School buses have two temperatures inside, hot or cold, and there isn’t much in between! Did you know they are air-conditioned? There are 26 windows the kids can put ‘down to the black line on the window sill please!’ That prevents body parts being put outside the bus in harms way…
AUGUST GIVEAWAY WINNER is Helene over at Photokismet! Congratulations! I’ll be sending you 12 ounces of Dillanos award winning coffee.

I love harbour shots – big or small, harbours are a photographers friend.

Nice capture. You can enjoy cool winds from Pacific ocean! It’s very cool.
I’M SO EXCITED! Thank you, thank you for the coffee!!! This has made my weekend!
And this shot of the harbor is beautiful. Love how it’s composed to show the trees towering over the buildings and boats. I imagine that would be stunning in any and every season!

Nice looking place.
Lovely, Madge! By coincidence I have also posted a harbour! :-)
Thanks for hosting.

Oh, I love harbor shots with the boats and the water! I was fortunate to visit the Seattle and Puget Sound area a few years ago. I’ll have to look in my archives for some of the photos.
Interesting picture – lots going on there. And it is a place I would like to visit too – the harbour and it’s activity beside that deep forest.
Oh, Madge. This is a lovely scene. Thank you for posting it.
it is nice to see a hot like that that isnĀ“t a HDR shot. I like the tone in it .
