Title: "Vacation" Pics (56k Warning)
Post by: Agent|Austin on August 02, 2009, 20:13:15
While I was gone my cousin from the east coast came out here and we pretty much had an entire week in downtown seattle. We went on two boat rides, and went to the Fremont Locks.

Cool part about these locks is it goes from fresh water to salt water, so it has some advanced features on the bottom since salt water is heavier then fresh water it sinks. They also have the dam off to the side with the fish ladders.

Pics:

Space Needle (this pic looks nice in B&W)

One of the 3 "doors" on the larger of the two locks.

Of course it doesn't come without a helicopter and a speed boat.

Yep, I got to see about 10 of them take off and land, would really love to fly with them someday, I also got to learn a little about water take offs, ALL vessels have the right of way, so about 5 of them had to abort take off and try again.
