Dunno what #AnimalArtTuesday is, but this one has been sitting in my backlog since Stockholm, and I kind of like it.

I heard there are still a few bears around up there despite Europeans' best efforts to kill off every living animal over the centuries.

Molokai.

#Photography #ClassicMono #Seattle

B&W image of classic 60s or 70s apartment building architecture with the campy name "Molokai" above some kind of cheesy Polynesian art. There is a utility pole and wires casting sharp shadows onto the brick ornamental area where the building name is shown. Taken in Seattle, October, 2025.

I had it tagged "redwoods," but assumed that was an error since it was Oregon.

I don't usually share old work, but this 2013 image seems to fit #BlueSkyArtShow #glow and #ColorADay #GreenSat. Taken when @alex-kunz.com and I were driving through Oregon in May, 2013, when I moved to Seattle.

Moss like this is so beautiful, but very hard to capture.
