Description

Last Thursday, when Jill and Char and I were running around, we stopped in Fremont to hang out with Kurt (kurtsart) for a while. Fremont is the self-described "Center of the Universe." There's even a sign and everything! This is actually several blocks up from The Center of the Universe. I guess that makes it slightly off-center. Of course Fremont is a little off-center anyway, no matter where you stand! Fremont is pretty famous. Google on it and explore to your heart's content! Look for "Waiting for the Interurban," which is a wonderful statue of ... well ... people standing at a bus stop, actually. There's a Volkswagon-eating troll under a bridge. Discover "The People's Republic of Fremont." Imagine nude people bicycling through the streets of Seattle! Tour the Red Hook Brewery. It's a nice place, Fremont. Seems perfectly normal to me!! So. There's this place across from Kurt's work that makes statues. These were lined up in the alley. Shot hand-held, zoom, from across the street. I like the little one, hiding in the middle. .......... Edit note: Fremont is a district in Seattle. Sorry to have been unclear!

Oooh, sounds like my kind of place...and I love these statues...they remind me of those tomb-guardians that are occasionally unearthed in China, though the little one in the middle kinda throws that off. I love the textures you captured here, as well as the strangely otherworldly mood. There's a sense of anticipation here, and a sense of calmness as well. Great capture on all counts!

Fantastic shot from our adventure with Jillian and Charlynn Tara! I now have my own shots of this when we had brilliant light and weather last night. Not sure I have time to upload anything yet, as my day job has turned into a management situation lol. Was such a blast to meet you, and yes, Fremont (Seattle) rocks. There is a Fremont Art Fair coming up in spring, where I'll have my work displayed. (And the main attraction is next to my workplace oh my)You should join in my booth! All the best and hugs Kurty
