Georgetown Steam Plant Outing
Last Saturday we did a little outing to the Georgetown Steam Plant here in Seattle. Â My husband and I have been to this place several times over the years and it is the perfect backdrop for steampunk photography. Â It was closed for a couple of years, but it is once again open to the public on the second Saturday of each month. Â You can even take a tour and learn about the place at 11:00 and 1:00.
I went all out and did my character Widget the automaton. Â I thought she would fit right in with all the machinery.
In an effort to keep everyone safe, they have cordoned off many areas that we used to be able to access, but there are still a lot of great spaces to photograph. Â One small annoyance is the addition of red dots to some of the equipment. Â I spent quite a while photoshopping out tiny red dots and yellow safety tape. Â It is what it is and it is still a marvelous resource.
You can see the results of our trip in the albums linked below as well as the ones from past years.
