View from Seattle's West Point during a very low tide

This picture didn't turn out all that great, but what it shows is interesting.

This is a place in Seattle called West Point, which is the westernmost point in the city of Seattle.

The tide was very, very low the day I took this picture, I was able to walk much further out on this area of land than usual.

View of 2 signs and Puget Sound - Carkeek Park on Thanksgiving

This picture was taken at a place in Seattle called Carkeek Park. It was taken on Thanksgiving Day of 2009.

I took a group of pictures that day, but not that many of them turned out very good.

Sunlight on plants out front of the Wallingford QFC

Nothing exotic. This picture is of plants that were sitting in the sunlight out front of the Wallingford QFC supermarket.

I like this picture.

Man holding Gottschalks "Going out of business" sign

This picture has historical importance. Gottschalks was a local retailer that went out of business in Merced in 2009.

I was walking around one day in 2009, when I saw people holding these signs about the closing. I asked the man if I could take a picture of the sign, and he said yes.

Roadside memorial in Merced

I was walking around in Merced last year. I was walking in this area between the old Gottschalks and the Walmart.

This area used to be mostly empty, but after I left they developed this area with new retail. Some of the stores included a Barnes and Noble and a Jamba Juice.

Anyways, out behind the new stores, there is a curvy road. While walking out in this area, I came across a roadside memorial for two people who died.

There wasn't any information, other than the names of the people on the crosses.
