Tacoma Fall Colors ~ Dock Street

All the color and avian wildlife at Wapato Lake was pretty hard to top but our last stop took us along Dock Street. We took a few photos of the hillside leading up the Stadium. Although lovely, it was pretty hazy by this time and most of the pedestrian accessible views were obstructed by train or power line. So we only snagged a couple shots each here.

Tomorrow I'll link up each portion of our photo trip and post some other fall color photos I've snagged in miscellaneous spots.

Century Park sketch examples [update]

I've received a few donor wall alternative/Century Park sketches from KFnet readers and I wanted to provide a couple as examples to show how other folks are doing it. Remember: I'm not looking for something to frame on my wall so simple is good. Here, without credit, description or commentary, are a few examples to get your juices flowing:

Here's how you can join in:

  1. Download a simple map of the area of the donor wall and Century Park
    Map: Small | Large | Print | 3D New!

  2. Sketch your ideas on paper or use something like MS Paint or PowerPoint on your computer

  3. Email your sketch and brief description to me

Try it out -- civic expression looks good on 'ya.

Update (2006-10-26 @ 11:59am)
The Tacoma Weekly just posted an article about this call for sketches and it actually sounds like Nicandri and Co. are willing to entertain what comes out of it. From the article:

Nicandri: "We are prepared to talk to anyone. If other people have ideas, we are willing to consider them. We are open to conversations."

Let's keep these ideas coming, folks, and let's score one for community involvement towards better outcomes here in Tacoma!
