Theme Day: Shop Window

Shop window

The window of Port Book and News in Port Angeles suggested itself for this month’s City Daily Photo theme of “Shop Window.” I liked the holiday tree made from books. Although daylight precluded seeing twinkling holiday lights I liked the reflection of a nearby building.

It’s back!

Rig again

This oil drilling rig, Polar Pioneer, was parked in the Port Angeles harbor last April as it was outfitted in anticipation of a trip to the Arctic. Its subsequent visit to Seattle prior to its embarkation generated protests. By summer’s end its owner Royal Dutch Shell announced disappointment with its oil exploration efforts and subsequently abandoned the venture. Polar Pioneer is now back in the Port Angeles harbor to offload equipment and supplies. It’s expected to stay for perhaps a month or longer and its future destination has not been announced.
