Sunset on Mt. Rainier and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Such a gorgeous sunset! Mt. Rainier was my original goal, but the Tacoma Narrows always adds such drama and when you add in the fog… oh yeah. I love driving across the bridge into the void – the other side unknown.

This outing was unexpectedly prolific for me. If you’re interested in reading more you can in my journal here: Finding My Groove Again.

Spent a beautiful evening photographing Mount Rainier overlooking the Tacoma Narrows Bridge during sunset. Traffic was flowing so I took advantage by slowing the shutter.

Union Passenger Station in Tacoma, Washington

Union Passenger Station in Tacoma, Washington

Union Station is distinctive because of its copper dome. This Tacoma landmark serves as the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. According to Wikipedia, Union Station is an example of Beaux-Arts architecture, “that combines awe-inspiring elegance with spatial efficiency.” In it’s windows is the “Monarch Window” display by glass artist Dave Chihuly. The seven block area surrounding Union Station makes up what is known as the Union Station Warehouse District.

This one is for my Mom, who fell in love with it’s architecture while we were walking by. I had a lot of fun taking advantage of the early sunset in winter and getting these colors to pop during blue hour.

Point Defiance Japanese Garden (2016)

Once I heard the Metro Parks was planning on redesigning the Japanese Garden in Point Defiance Park I set out to photograph it’s current state. From what I understand the new changes are in partnership with Tacoma’s Japanese sister city, Kitakyushu, and will be modified to be more respectful of traditions and cultural heritage. I love Point Defiance and it’s exciting to see how much attention and effort is going into updating this park symbol.
