As Captain Midnight has so deftly captured here, Western Washington continues to be a winter wonderland, with snow falling and black ice forming on the roads.
(It's also beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go, but that's another story.)But snow and ice does not trouble us, because we were taught how to drive in it. So yesterday I drove Miss V to SeaTac Airport for her annual Thanksgiving trip to visit family out of state.
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is normally the busiest travel day of the year in the United States. But at SeaTac, thanks to a combination of inclement weather and large numbers of people choosing to drive rather than put up with invasive security procedures, the airport was relatively calm.
We came early, so I had time to take pictures of some of the art on display at SeaTac. This mighty fishmobile hangs in the main food court and atrium of the airport (click on the photo for more detail; it really is remarkable).
All along the stretch of Concourse B there are metallic fish embedded in the floor.
All kinds of fish.
Schools of them, in fact.
Salmon...
...eels...
...traditional orcas...
...even a fish with a carry-on.
He is presumably hurrying to board the planefish.
It's a little something for busy travelers to pick out as they head to their gates. Makes me smile every time I go down this concourse.
