The ship is waiting to be loaded with grain at the Louis Dreyfus Grain Terminal, which you can see in the picture below. This picture was taken last March from the Space Needle. Note the fireboat practicing at the left.

Ocean Shipping
I selected today's title based on my profile. When I say I'm interested in "ocean shipping" I'm mostly talking about large ships, which I find fascinating. On the afternoon of January 26th, I spotted this cargo ship anchored in Elliott Bay. The late afternoon sunshine created a bright reflection. Be sure to click on the photos for larger views.

The largest ship I ever saw was the one troopship I went to Korea/Japan on. The USS Breckenridge. We landed in Honolulu and got off -- a corn field kid on the beach in Hawaii was special. I got off at Yokohama and stayed in Japan. Your photographs remind me of some neat pictures I have seen on calendars. I think your pictures would work on a calendar too. Nice photos.
