Last post of October, kicking off Photovember, where I will attempt to post at least one photo a day for a month.

Riviera Pavement

In April we took a trip to the south of France (which is of course adjacent to the northwest of Italy). Among the glorious postcard-worthy views I became also quite taken with the variety of common pavement painting.

(For some slightly more picturesque shots from this trip to France and Italy, hop over to The Eff-Stop!)

Mirror Darkly

Spent a morning in the farming community of Monroe, Washington. While I was taking these shots of parallel worlds, a few miles away a mountainside was sloughing off and burying Oso, a village in the foothills, under twenty feet of mud.

'Tis the Off Season

A few shots from the periphery of this year's neighborhood holiday fair, held at the local swim and tennis club.

The Market at 10 PM

Apologies to Giacometti.

Hardly a palace, especially at 10 PM -- let alone 4 am -- Seattle's normally bustling Pike Place Market does settle down a bit at night.

Took these on my circuitous way home from a neighborhood "Harvest Festival."

Fields Notes of a Square Spotter

Always gladdened by a splotch of color on grey pavement, I spotted these gaudy quadrilaterals of an evening in downtown Portland, Oregon. Slightly fotoshopped for a painterly patina, just because.
