Fun in the Sun

I live in the suburbs of Seattle. I love to spend what little summer we have, out there enjoying it. One of my favorite place to visit is The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. Built in 1911 and often nicknamed the Ballard Locks, provides a link for boats between the salt water of Puget Sound and the fresh water of the Ship Canal, which connects eastward to Lake Union and Lake Washington. You never know what you will see.

Seafair is Seattle's big summer fair. The final highlight are the hydroplane races. This hydroplane was on display.
