Wonderful......Diverse......Seattle

Seattle is many different "small towns" co-joined by asphalt ribbons. Visit and enjoy them all.

Random Pics.

AH! July! This is Bon Odori time in Seattle. The dances and the dancers. The Taiko drums thundering. The kimonoes so beautiful.

No one cares about how you dance just that you do. Remember when you were just a child and dancing was so easy...now we worry that someone will see us and maybe not understand it is the journey and not the destination that is important....dance like you were still a child........sets your soul free!!!

    I miss Obon Dance Festival! I have my kimono and yukata with me here, but no chances to wear them.

    Hi Bob, You are dead right-on re it's the Journey and not the Destination-feel the same everytime I take the boat out of the harbor. In fact, it is SEEKER's motto posted at the helm. Why is the world in such a haste? Enjoy life's trip is the Thing! Doug

    Thank you for visiting my page. I didn't know that there is Obon Dance Festival there! It is nice to know that we have such an opportunity to introduce our culture... Chico

    Nice main photo! Attractive women in Seattle. I spent one night there. Don't remember much, other than the Space Needle and the homeless and alcoholics in the downtown area at night.
