Today was a terrific day to have off, if you were so lucky.

Crystal-clear skies and bright sunlight make for great views of Ballard.

Just to the right of the first photo is a mini-skyline of condos and apartments. Market Street Landing, if it’s able to secure financing and design approval, would go near the middle of those buildings, at Market and 15th.

By the way, these photos were snapped from Fremont Peak Park, a little-known gem of a park along Palatine near 45th. Even on a day like today, only a handful of people were there. That’s the Ballard Bridge in the background.
