A few medical appointments took me to First Hill yesterday so I walked 2.7 miles in the First Hill and Downtown neighborhoods, mostly on streets I had already walked but filling in four streets I had missed and noticing some new sights along the way.
I spotted this manhole cover at 5th and James just outside the Municipal Court Building
and across the street from City Hall.
I saw some great artwork on a fence surrounding a building site at 3rd and James. I especially likes these works by Jenny Fillius; an artist statement expresses her frustration with distracted motorists and mentions a lie she told.
My walk included a stop in the Frye Museum to view Franz von Stuck's
Sin so that I could compare it to the version I had just seen in Munich. (It seems that the artist created at least ten versions of this painting and also designed the frames.)
Along my way, I spotted the Cafe Berlin (which serves promising looking sandwiches)
and a Seattle University Community Garden.
I'm glad I went back to cover those four missed streets.
