This is actually the back of the Whatcom Museum, but it is identical to the front. The original plot of land they were going to put the building on would have had equal access both ways, but it would have been sitting over an old coal mine, which someone decided wasn't such a good idea. So they built it here instead, with the cliff-facing backside just as pretty as the front. To see my other shot of the museum from the front, click here.

Great skywatch entry. What's inside the Whatcom Museum?
ReplyDeletethat´s a really beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful. It looks like a castle in the sky.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to visit me: Picture This . . .
Beautiful sky, but VERY nice building!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo I was going to visit Bellingham until the low cost airline went out of business
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I am proud of our beautiful museum.
ReplyDeleteBrattcat-- it's kind of an "everything" museum right now, with historical artifacts and art pieces as well. The new art museum is almost finished, at which time all the art will move there and this will be primarily a history museum. Your comment made me realize, though, how long it's been since I was actually inside! That's my next rainy-day activity, I guess!
Joe Todd-- Yes, unfortunately that airline didn't last very long! We've had a new one for awhile now, but it only goes to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Reno and Palm Springs. Which is VERY nice for us in the winter time, but not so convenient for you!
