Hmmm, I though I had it straight. It seems my chain may being pulled, but am
too dense to get it.

I don't live there. So it would have to be a coordinated trip. Peter is our
resident denizen of the rainy Seattle Metro.
We didn't manage to cross paths, as he was working during the only short window
I had outside of family visit Christmas
activities.

I appreciate your comments. I like to think I've backed off a little on my
processing of at least some natural subjects.
And some others here seem to have upped their processing game, even near and
into obvious HDR. So I was hoping I
wouldn't stick out so much. :-)
Kind of surprising to that I got such great response to urban images, as cities
are not my preferred place to walk
around. I do like strong, generally simple, often somewhat abstract,
compositions of form, texture, colour, etc.
I'm afraid you will have to suffer more out in the woods images, too. ;-)

Congrats, you got the easy one.

Nice try!

The font of (presumably?) Holy Water inside the unusual, very modern, chapel on
the U of Seattle (Jesuit) campus. Of
maybe a baptismal font? I have little knowledge of such things, but it's sort
of like a large birdbath.
Light from an overcast/drizzly day through frosted glass reflected off the very
slightly disturbed surface. I blacked
out the font itself and messed with the water a bit. :-)
The cast glass and the doors with oval windows below are the same building.
More images of that building and the campus
to come. Some people with very good eyes for shapes, spacial relationships, and
so on were involved with laying out the
campus. Attractive relationships between elements, unexpected spaces opening
up, and other felicitous features are common.
