Balcony Apartment5 viewsWe began our excursion to Fremont from Nick and Jane's cozy apartment in Mountlake Terrace, which is the one on the second floor with the balcony.
|
|
Weeping Cedars4 viewsI had thought that the Weeping Cedar in front of Chuck and Elouise's house in Bend was a rarity. Turns out that in Seattle they're all over the place.
|
|
Verdant Venue4 viewsHere's another weeping cedar just down the walk from Nick and Jane's apartment at the end of this building.
|
|
Home for Christmas4 viewsNick and Jane's apartment complex comes with ready-made Christmas trees.
|
|
Arboretum5 viewsNick and Jane's apartment complex is a veritable arboreum, full of exotic and beautiful trees, like the two pictured here.
|
|
Japanese Maple3 viewsDisclaimer: I'm no expert on trees, and I'm only guessing about the type; for all I know it could be a Red Ripoffarium; but in any case it's a very elegant little tree.
|
|
Troll Bridge3 viewsUnder this Aurora Street/US 99 bridge in the Fremont District lurks a gigantic troll. Sandie is also lurking nearby.
|
|
Popular Ogre3 viewsThe Fremont Troll is one of the most popular attractions in Seattle, and it was impossible to get a shot with no people in the picture without waiting for nightfall, and I didn't want to wait that long.
|
|
Troll with Abductee3 viewsThis is about as close as I could get to an unobstructed view of the Fremont Troll. At least the obstruction in this view is a comely young lass.
|
|
The Gripping Hand3 viewsI finally was able to get an unobstructed view of part of the troll: his hand. It's grasping a wrecked VW Beetle - a real one.
|
|
The Troll and I4 viewsI had Nick try to get a picture of yours truly with the Troll with as few people as possible in the frame; this was the best he could do.
|
|
Surly Troll5 viewsThe Troll appears to be glaring at me with his one eye. I glared back at him.
