A segment of the Seattle skyline and one of the Port Terminals.

A7r, Zeiss Sonnar 135mm f/2.8 C/Y, 1/8000s, -1/3 EV, ISO 200


A7r, Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f/4, 70mm, 1/500s @ f/7.1, -1/3 EV, ISO 200


Cheers, Matt
Boy, has Seattle ever changed! I was a frequent (monthly) visitor there from about 1971-1980 and the tallest thing was the Space Needle! Is the old Olympic Hotel still there? Used to be a Westin in my day but I'm sure it's now changed. It was where I stayed and loved it. And how about Rossellini's 412? Fabulous food but I bet it's gone too!

Continuing my morbid mood of late (apologies) and the flat lighting that we keep on getting every other day, I present you...
Ten Benches at Treyarnon
All taken with a mixture of Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 and FE55 f1.8 lenses on the A7R.

Savoy Bear, Swiss Goat, Frog with Bagpipes, Chipmunk, portrait of Abbey (deceased), and wooden hand...alright, we're a little weird!

Bill: I was here for a lot of that decade (more, or, less here!). The city has changed a bit. The Olympic Hotel is still here. It's now a "Fairmont". Very nice. All of the Rossellini Restaurants are gone. My father would take me there if I was presentable.

Susan Roberts RIP
A7R + CV35/f1.2 & FE55/f1.8 lenses



This is really the nicest bank in your series. The angle of view brings out the interesting curves much better than many other pics of this bench, which I found through Google while trying to find out who that lady Susan Robert was.. (Didn't find anything about her, BTW).

What are all these benches ? Do they indicate someone committed suiccide there ? Or are there only there to remember a defunct who liked that shore while living ?

And I prefer the first more saturated version to the second one. What the light can do..

New trend; big group bicycle excursions through Amsterdam with helmets.
Local cyclist have to watch out for these inexperienced city bikers :lecture:

Hi Annna T,

Many thanks for your comments, I am really glad that you liked those 2 images as I also like those ones in particular (The Susan Roberts bench is very close to a 30ft drop into the ocean and is my favorite bench).

I was trying to document the bench as a whole in the ever changing light from all the different perceivable angles before the Atlantic ocean swallowed it up altogether (Erosion along this cliff area is pretty bad).

The close up of the plaque shows the erosion of the bench in just 20 years!

The benches are all spread out on about a half mile strip of land between Constantine bay and Treyarnon bay.

Re: Susan Roberts and her identity I guess will have to stay a mystery as I am afraid I have nothing to add...As the simple plaque gives me nothing to work upon for research.

All the other varying benches are of mostly lost ones (From the very young to even pets and several young guys killed on motorcycles).

Alison and I have visited here many times and used to sit on one particular bench set back from the sea...We were quite surprised to see a 10ft diameter sink hole (50ft drop into the sea below) had developed and swallowed up the bench on our return visit!

A couple more but bench ends this time....I was bemused that somebody put a sock over the top of one of the benches.
