This is one of my all-time fave photos, taken last year on the way back from Astoria, Oregon, from the amazing bridge there. Mostly it was cloudy, but one sunny moment was all I needed for this.

I had some time to take a walk in downtown Seattle yesterday and caught this iconic sign over our famous Pike’s Place Market on Puget Sound just as the sun went down.

Last year I went to Burning Man, an extreme arts festival, you might say, on the playa in Black Rock, Nevada.
