Early Christmas Surprise

Post by Scubie Doo »

This isn't UW photography related, but I was pretty excited to finally see one of my photos posted in Seattle. Earlier this year I submitted several photos to a project to have them mounted on city bus stops around the Seattle area. I submitted several UW photos and was hoping they would get selected to show others the beauty of our waters. I threw in a photograph of Mt. Rainier too. To my surprise, the MR photo was selected. I received an email yesterday notifying me that my photo had been installed at MLK and South Columbia Way bus stop. I fought the traffic today to see this live a take a few photos. Was a nice Christmas present from the photos gods :-)

Here are the shots, have a great Christmas everyone.

Here are a few of the other photos I submitted. I was really hoping one of these would get selected. Maybe next time :-)

I know this isn't scuba related, but excited to share with my fellow photog friends of the PNW.

Thanks Jan. I really liked to salmon and octo murals. Those would have been way cool to see at a bus stop :)

Very cool, Scubie! I'm hoping there's still a chance that one of your underwater shots will be used at another stop.

Happy Christmas too. I wish a UW pic was selected too. I would loved to have seen one of those at a bus stop.
