Angels 2008Seafair Seattle 2008: The first weekend in August every year, Seattle throws a party. There are lots of things going on ... a parade, a marathon, pirate high jinks, unlimited hydro racing ... and a performance by the Blue Angels over Lake Washington. And each year I take our boat to the show line and watch/film the Blue Angels. This year, as usual, there were about 500 other boats with the same idea. The weather was warm. Boats were full of young people. Some young people should wear bikinis, and in fact it would be criminal not to, ... and some should not. Anyway, enjoy the angels, blue or otherwise.
Let the record show, I put the Blue Angels before the other angels.http://digitalquixote.smugmug.com/Out-About/Angels-2008/DSC7697/344696008_PFykJ-Ti.jpghttp://digitalquixote.smugmug.com/gallery/5614486_uDUBK/2008-08-03T14:31:09ZCopyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
