Dusty Moments -- America's Finest Blog

Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

Sundown at Carkeek Park

Carkeek Park is in Seattle's Broadview neighborhood, north of Ballard and west of Northgate. These photos were taken by my dad, in 1967 or 1968. I can remember going to Carkeek Park as a little kid, and going down the slide there. And I can remember crossing the railroad tracks to get to the beach. Oddly, I don't think I remember the beach itself.
Enjoy

I remember the beach well - damp, lots of mud to suck off your tennis shoes. I also remember being mortally terrified of the bridge over the tracks because it was metal mesh and see through. I was convinced I would fall through those two inch holes.
