Spending a few hours on my last day in Seattle just wandering around Bainbridge Island was a relaxing, idyllic time.

On my last full day in Seattle, I took a ferry over to Bainbridge Island and as the boat left for the island, I looked back over and took this photo.

After dinner at Book Bindery, I decided I wanted some nice Belgian-style beers before calling it a night. That’s how I found myself crossing a bridge and then staring to my right at another, much higher bridge. The cool thing was that I had a nice overhead shot of part of Seattle – the lights on the ground and the light reflecting off the river at night.

At Pike Place Market in Seattle, there is Rachel, a giant bronze piggy bank that sits outside the main entry. It’s a popular spot for tourists taking photos and it does decent business, taking in between $6,000 and $9,000 annually. What interested me were the bronze hoofprints around the pig with a donor’s name on it, especially the one pictured here for “David Wright”. Somehow I doubt it’s David Wright, All-Star third baseman of the Mets but wouldn’t it be funny if it were? Yeah, it’s probably not him.
