AMBLE THROUGH ANTIQUITY

When a Dear GrD says, "Grandma, I want to hang with you with our cameras!" do I hesitate? 
No! We were off, having decided to go to the innards of old Seattle.
Behind windows like this, it is obvious that what was once important no longer takes place here,  but the facades are fascinating:


A very old facade frames a lovely relic:

This is a part of town through which people hurry, but we took our time to hunt and peek: 

I love old building-side fossils:





Got Powdered Sugar?
Gr.D with yummy pastry tell-tale face:

Most alleys looked a little scary, but we couldn't resist going down this "designer alleyway":

Although a menu is posted here, there was no entrance. Tempting advertising might lure one to find the front of the building.  Someone loves the workplace, to care this much for a narrow, dark alley in this way:



Fire escapes almost romanticize old buildings:


Many of my photos of this outing lend themselves to the sepia effect, because of the era:

OH!!! Pioneer Square!! I was just commenting to Lauren about that place. These bring back such good memories of our ramble down there...I am so glad that you and Tori went 'sploring. And yes, these lend themselves perfectly to a sepia tone.
