Photographer’s Comments
We’ve had predictably crappy weather in Seattle but today the rain remained at bay for a couple of hours; long enough to ride into Seattle and take this photo at Volunteer Park in front of the Asian Art Museum. You can just make out the Space Needle at the right edge of the frame.
I am sure where I parked is not the recommended motorcycle parking, but it was a Thursday morning. There were few people around and no one inclined to tell a Boomer Biker where to leave his ride. LOL!
I borrowed my wife’s Sony point-and-shoot because my D200 is really too big to be carrying around on the Ducati.

Why, yes it does! Nice overall shot of the bike but that big wheel thing/sculpture on the left ruins the whole shot. Really distracting tot he shot. Otherwise this would have made a decent stock photo. The colors are nice, the clarity is there. A 6
