This beautiful photo of autumn leaves on the grounds of the VA Hospital is by Maria Isabel Velez. Her photostream on Flickr has some beautiful atmospheric images of things in Beacon Hill, Columbia City, Georgetown, and elsewhere. According to her profile, all of the photos were taken with her iPhone!
Many of the images are of things that might go unnoticed — a crack in concrete, a rusting bench, an outlet on a wall. Maria’s use of composition and saturated color makes them fascinating.
Some other photos I particularly enjoyed in Maria’s photostream:
- Another shot of autumn leaves on Beacon Hill, fiery red
- Impressionist sky over the neighbor’s roof
- Birds on a powerline, 12th and Jackson
- Tomatillos at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market
- Floor tiles at Full Tilt in Columbia City
