Floaters

Bunched up water floaters. Not sure what they are really called, but they are used to block boat access to docs and other areas.

Apple Inspiration

According to a recent study, the Apple logo is supposed to inspire creativity. So here is my attempt at being creative. I guess I probably maybe failed. Perhaps working at Microsoft makes me immune the power of the Apple logo. Actually, I think I'm not just that creative with pictures anymore (if I ever was). I used the back-light apple on the back of Martha's laptop and moved the camera around.

Lenin in Seattle

A few months ago I was in the Freemont area of Seattle for the Red Bull Soap Box derby. After the derby and walking around the neighborhood, I was surprised to see this tall statue of Lenin right smack in the middle of a US city. I took a picture and forgot about it. So as Martha and I walked around Freemont today, I shot another picture. If you are wondering why and how this sculpture made it's way to Seattle, you can find out more about it in Wikipedia.
