On day 65 of my Project 365, Seattle was coated under a layer of ice. The predictions of the great thaw were about 24 hours premature. One of my earliest photography memories involved a similar ice storm back in the suburbs of Cleveland, where I grew up. It had been …
The snow finally arrived in Seattle on Wednesday. I went out for a few hours and took several photos. And I am about to head out again because we were hit with some freezing rain and more snow today. I will compile them all into one post eventually, but here’s …
