State Ferries
The Washington State Ferries ticket booth in Friday Harbor has just the right paint on the street to suit my mood.
And the ice cream store next door was like a beach to the tide while I was standing there with my camera. A whole wave of school kids came tumbling and rolling across the road and were sucked away into the drain-door. Thanks to the wonders of HDR, I managed to get rid of most of the kids through combining the different exposures.

Your painted lines = my rectangles! Good use of them in the first shot. And I like that very nice shade of green on the ferry building.

Ha! Maybe that is true, now that you mention it:). I like that shade of green too – much better than the dark green they use on the ferries. I suspect this is a recent structure, designed to fit in with the old feel of Friday Harbor, though I have no proof of that.

I like the contrasts between these two buildings but comparing the two I prefer the compositional strengths of the first.

Thanks Andy. I don’t think I would have posted the second shot all on its own, but since it is side by side with the first it seemed to warrant/allow a showing. Its redeeming characteristic is the big vents on the roof, but they are not enough I don’t think.

I love the first photo with the graphics painted on the foreground leading into the building. And the ominous sky is a contrast with the cheerful buildings.

Thanks Ken. This is one of the days of our visit that rained. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day (like in yesterday’s kayak photo).
