Pic of graffiti cleanup that got on a blog

This picture was taken about a month ago. The man seen in this picture is a city of Seattle worker who is doing graffiti cleanup under a bridge in Seattle called the University Bridge.

After I took this picture, I thought to myself about the graffiti cleanup process. I lived in Seattle's University District from 2000 to 2008 (except for a brief stint in Fresno).

This area under the bridge has always been a target for graffiti, largely because they keep re-painting over the graffiti with an institutional gray color!

After pondering the cleanup of this area, I sent this image over to a local news blog, and they ended up running an excellent story about it.

I, for one, hope that a mural goes up in this area. The city used to play the same cat and mouse game up on Campus Parkway, where a large wall in a tunnel kept inviting graffiti. Around 2004, the city had some local artists come in and put up murals, which truly transformed this previously dark area for the better. Hopefully that's what can happen here.

Water on a random plant in Seattle.

I don't know what kind of plant this is, but you will see this plant all over the city of Seattle. I liked this picture. Often, when it rains, these plants look really cool because they have beads of water all over them.

There's another picture of water drops on this type of plant here.

Random picture of a flower and some water on some leaves. This was taken someplace in Seattle, I neglected to document the location.

Colorful flowers at 6th Avenue West & West Ewing Street

This picture turned out kind of nice. I was out walking around with my buddy Lord Tuggs, when we walked by the intersection of 6th Avenue West & West Ewing Street.

Much to my surprise, there was a small boat dock in this area. If you look, you can see it in the upper right hand corner of this picture.

This area is a couple blocks away from the Seattle Pacific University campus.

Anyways, I walked by, and noticed these flowers, which were so colorful, I wasn't even sure if they were real. But, they were! Snapped this picture.

Random view of restaurant downtown with Smith Tower in the background

This picture was pretty nice. This is a picture of restaurant in downtown Seattle called Main St. Gyros. I have never been to this restaurant, but I would like to go.

Directly behind the sign for this restaurant is the Smith Tower, which is the oldest skyscraper in the city.

This is a picture I took not too long ago. This picture is from the intersection of 6th Avenue West and West Ewing Street. This is not all that far from the campus of Seattle Pacific University.

I posted other photos from this area here.

Egret flying off over Puget Sound

This is a picture of an egret that I took just this week. This egret was taking off over the water of Puget Sound. This picture was taken a few hundred yards south of Carkeek Park.

You can see some other pictures of this bird here and here. I posted the same picture above here and here.
