FERRY AT BOAT LAUNCH
I have wanted to take this picture for a long time. I remember years ago going by there at the end of South Washington Street in the Pioneer Square district of town, and seeing a ferry framed by that old time boat launch and wishing I had a camera so I could take a picture of this. A couple months ago. I was down there. I had my camera. I wasn't necessarily thinking about being so lucky as to be down there when a ferry came through. I had parked my car up on 1st Avenue South. When I got out of the car I realized that I had parked illegally. I was going to go over and take some pictures along the waterfront. I forget what I wanted to take pictures of. I decided to take my chances. Maybe the usually effcient meter maids would be slacking off, I hoped. So I took off down South Washington Street. I got to where that street meets Alaskan Way and looked up. To my surprise a ferry was coming through and it was perfectly framed by the old boat launch. I immediately started snapping away with my camera and caught the above picture. When I was finished I decided not to go further down on the waterfront since I got the picture that I had wanted for years. When I got to my car there was no ticket on the windshield so I quickly got in and drove away.
