It was hard to coax anything out of this sky, but this is what I got.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium\" title=\"DSC_3232\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/v3ggi32u\/3638955577\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3643\/3638955577_4ce7f584bd.jpg?resize=500%2C165\" alt=\"DSC_3232\" width=\"500\" height=\"165\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you don&#8217;t have many second chances with weather, you have to take what you get. After this I walked back up the hill to catch the bus. On the way back, I stopped in to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chasejarvis.com\/\">Chase Jarvis<\/a>. As luck would have it, he was in, and just waiting for a model to get makeup put on. I got to have a quick chat with him and some of his staff. Chase and the rest of them are really nice. It was fun to &#8220;drop in&#8221; for a visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North of downtown Seattle, across Lake Union is Gasworks Park. The place is pretty cool.
