A little history on the banner photo:
Taken at Gas Works Park Seattle Washington by Tina
Tina and I wandered around taking photos of the various areas in the old
industrial park waiting for sunset. As the evening shadows began to lengthen
and the sky turned that wonderful gold and orange. We could hear music
coming from over the hill. The sounds of big names like Bing Crosby, Frank
Sinatra, and many others that I recognized but couldn't remember, floated down
to us gently like a soft breeze. Most of them were old show tunes but some
were nice slow dance tunes from the 40’s and 50's.
Tina looked up on the hill from where we were standing and saw all those
people doing different things. A photographer shooting the skyline, a violinist
playing to a friend, boyfriends and girlfriends in repose being romantic or
talking and a person just sitting being pensive. Then when you get towards the
bottom of the hill, some people were dancing with umbrellas. I have no idea
what or why they were doing that, but they were. What a feast for the camera.
The lighting and the people came together in a perfect blend of surrealism.
We were able to take 3 photos like this. This one being the best.
