#SolsticeParade

Sister Faye Laetio of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the 2005 Fremont Solstice Parade in Seattle, WA. A 20-year-old photo taken with a point-and-shoot camera; while I do love the capabilities of my more modern equipment, sometimes a great shot is just about right place, right time.

A person with white face paint and green and yellow eye shadow and lipstick wearing a white head scarf topped with a broach and small flowers. The shot is from below, looking up at their face at the top left of the shot, and the scarf swoops down from the side of their head to fan out dramatically towards the bottom of the shot. The sky behind them is white with clouds, so the entire shot is almost monochrome, save for their eyes and lips.

I forgot it was the solstice today until one of the students in my kayak class pointed out all the naked people trying to wash paint off themselves at gas works park. Definitely made for a memorable class. Happy solstice everyone. #solstice #SolsticeParade #seattle #LakeUnion

People have no idea how far their voices carry when they open their windows. I can plainly hear a new techbrodude in his apartment living room across the street on the phone to his mother:

"There's a neighborhood near here, I guess it's kinda liberal, and once a year they just parade and bike down the streets naked!"

"Body paint, I think, but fully naked."

"Well, mom, I guess it *Is* legal here."
