I walked to the top of one of the cruise ship buildings where people could look out over the Sound towards Bainbridge Island. I noticed this young lady as she stared out over the Sound, seemingly lost in her thoughts. I quickly took two images and then moved on to leave her with her solitude.
I had taken the ferry boat earlier in the day over to Bainbridge Island. The gentle movement of the ferry through the water felt soothing to me. Totally different than an aircraft. I walked around the ferry on the upper deck looking out across the Sound while a light mist fell. I found this young lady avoiding the elements and reading her book. After the 35 minute ride I walked through the small town. It really is small so I immediately fell in love with. I meandered through a small bookstore then stopped in for a hot chocolate and scone at the Blackbird Bakery. It was another good day!

I especially love the top photo…simple but graphic with just the right amount of color. Very nice!

Thanks, Tom. I actually did not notice the red hair until I loaded it on the computer. Her solitude was the subject when i first saw the scene.

Sounds and looks like you had a wonderful visit to the Seattle area…a mini-vacation. I like these photos of people finding their own little pieces of solitude. I’m one who often seeks a little solitude myself. Enjoy your time with family and I hope you find a little at home down time soon.

I did enjoy my time in Seattle. I’m now in Phoenix to spend a few days with my parents. The 30th will be my mothers 80th birthday.

That is some shocking red hair! Great composition. My eyes have no choice but to follow the rail to the hair! 🙂

I do like the red hair, also.
