libertangoOne of the things I've really been wanting to do is share more of my photography. I've been very pleased with some of the results I've been getting lately... pleased enough that I'm in danger of not being as self-effacing as usual. :)
So, I'm going to start making more photo posts. This one is the first. In these posts, I don't want to show more than two or three images each time, just to keep the emphasis sharply focused... and to let me post frequently. :)
I have a wacky work schedule. Wednesday-Saturday, 7a-6p. What that means is that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akirlu and I have only one day off in common -- Sunday. As we're still relatively new in the area, we've been going on various day trips.
Sunday, October 31 was one. We went to Ellensburg, and went on to Yakima, simply because we hadn't been on that side of the mountains very often.
The wind in Ellensburg was whipped up. It made the sky startlingly blue. Ellensburg is home to Central Washington University, which has a fine old Victorian building on campus.
While we were driving through Snoqualmie Pass on I-90, the sun was just breaking through the clouds, illuminating the snow on the slopes:
Later, we got to Yakima. Why Yakima? Well, mostly because the first brewpub of the post-Prohibition era opened there, in 1982. The web page for it is still up. But it's no longer there.
However, we did toodle about a bit, and I got a picture or two. This is the Larson Building, a fine Art Deco tower of its type.
More pictures (though not necessarily of this trip... I mean, more pictures) to come, I hope.
