mike_wagner6 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>The University of Washington in Seattle has a very attractive campus. There is a central area known as the Quad which is a rectangular area with numerous cherry trees. Most Springs there is a limited window when the blossoms are in bloom and the sun is shining, and the wind hasn't scattered all the blossoms. I caught it pretty right a month ago when I ventured out with a Nikon F100, with a 24-120mm zoom and Fuji Superia ISO 200. Processed and scanned at Costco. Here are some scenes.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>Beautiful location, <strong>Mike</strong>. I really like pic#3, with the lighting through the blossom. Very relaxing...!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatulent1 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>No. 3 is very nice. I wanted to get down there on a sunny Sunday morning, but we only had one of those this spring, and I was unwell that morning. C'est la vie...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_wagner6 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>Some people take it seriously. BTW, Fred, If you drive onto the campus, there is usually a toll booth at every entrance. You have to leave a $15 dollar deposit. If you are just on campus for about 2 hours, you will get $12 back. If you just zip through and park on campus, you WILL be ticketed, as I can attest.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 <p>I've parked on the UW campus dozens of times and I've never paid, and never been ticketed. I think if you come on a weekday you need to pay, but I always come on a weekend, and never have had a problem.</p> <p>Mike, what day were you there? We are having such a terrible cold and wet Spring here in Seattle, I missed the window this year.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a beautiful campus, and I do "Bow down to Washington".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
