How do you capture time? How do you even describe time? That’s a brain-breaker indeed.
One of my favorite things to photograph is the wake of a boat or a ship. The boat cleaves through the water, and always leaves behind evidence of its passing. If the boat is turning, it shows you where the boat has been, essentially its past.
This is the wake of a Washington State Ferry. You can see how the ferry turned. Evidence of its recent past.
This is the wake of a cruise-ship, much bigger than the ferry. It just moves in a straight line.
I have a little hydrangea bush in my back yard, and I have captured it in its stages of growth.
These photos were taken about a week apart, and you can see the growth over time.
This is a beautiful clock, at the University of Cambridge. And the building itself is quite old, but well-preserved.
My husband grew up in Camden, New Jersey, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. Philly has a wonderful French-inspired City Hall, with a tall clock tower visible from all over the city. You can just see the statue of William Penn on top.
And our favorite little town of Leavenworth has a cute cuckoo clock in the Festhalle, adding another bit of German kitsch to the touristy feel.
Last weekend, we went to the Washington State Fair, and were lucky enough to be there when young equestrians went through their paces. All the young ladies rode very well.
Almost, but not quite, stopping time in its prance.

I loved everything about your post, not just because it speaks to time, but it also speaks a few memories for me. I loved watching the wake of the ferry when we lived in WA. What a great way to show the passing of time, also comparing it to a cruise. Nothing like the Puyallup fair, and/or a visit to Leavenworth for some good food.
And…I just learned of Philly’s City Hall last night while watching the Eagles game. They did a drone video and photo from directly on top of William Penn so you could look straight down. Super cool. If you watched the game, I am sure you saw it too. Have a nice weekend.
Thank you. I am going to go through my old photos to find my picture of the wake from the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier that I rode. That huge ship could turn on a dime!
oh wow! how did you get that lucky to get a ride. (My husband was on submarines for 20 years, we were in that area). Nothing like a floating building !
I played in the Everett Symphony for 12 years, and we did a concert at the Navy base on July 4 every year. They thanked us by busing us up to Victoria BC, and letting us ride the carrier back to Everett. It was a beautiful spring day and we stood on the stern flight deck. Unfortunately there is no place on a carrier to sit, other than the mess hall and duty stations, so we all had sore feet from standing up all day.
Fantastic. What a treat. Yes. Sore feet, makes you appreciate the work they do.
