Another Seattle tourist spot that I seem to have missed until now: the gum wall. I admit I found it entertaining.

Many colors of gum decorate the alley near Pike Place Market in Seattle

I don’t usually post this kind of photo, but I’ll make an exception for this one. In Port Townsend, WA, we stayed at a place that was built in the 1890s. This was the corner of the garage or shed on the property. It just floats my boat.

My brother is on a motorcycle trip and had his friend take this picture of him in front of a fallen redwood in Northern California. What an image!

In front of the mosaic fence below, some remarkable and beautiful old vehicles. The top one is from the 30s, maybe?

Old and rusty, but still graceful.
