The exercise:
Your prompt today: the ball game.
Yesterday was most excellent times. But I'm rather tired today so I'm going to cheat a little bit.
Mine:
I haven't attended a baseball game in quite a few years and doing so yesterday brought back one of my latent childhood dreams: professional sports photographer.
We had pretty sweet seats - row 19, almost directly behind home plate. I got quite a few pictures like this before deciding to go for a walk around the stadium to capture some different angles.
Seattle's Safeco Field is a great place to catch a game. It's open air with a retractable roof (that, thanks to the sun, remained tucked away all afternoon) and a path that leads all the way around the stadium - I took the above and the following two pictures at various points along that concourse.
Despite a few close calls, we never had a decent shot at a foul ball, which was rather disappointing.
But I imagine the game itself was far more of a letdown for fans of the home team: the Mariners lost 11 to 2.
