And here's the text I submitted with the photo:
"I was looking for a parking spot near the Olympia Maintenance Facility when I spotted these diligent Sunday morning workers. I had to be nearly on top of them to figure out they weren't real." Submissions are going to be geotagged and put in a mosaic. If I find mine, I'll see what I can do to link to it. UPDATE: Here's the link! Just wait for the interactive feature to load and the photo will pop up. Then, you can -- and should -- explore the entire project. Oh, and if you go there, please "recommend" the photo!
What I originally had in mind was to take a photo of the construction cranes for the new state data center from the Eastside Street/I-5 overpass. I see them every day now on my drive to work and find them fascinating. I love their geometry and how they move in relation to each other, but sadly their beauty is hard to capture.
While I was walking along the overpass, I found a little memorial, evidently for someone who had died near that spot, either in an accident or from having jumped off the bridge. There were dead flowers wired onto the fence, tipped-over jars, and neglected bouquets. And this:
Gone, but not forgotten. Whoever you were.
In the end, I decided the photo of the working figures was the most distinctive, as well as the most cheerful.
