    I must admit that my hands were shaking while taking the shot, just as a hunter with "buck fever". I had sought this elusive photo for a very long time and my senses were on overload as events unfolded.

    Perhaps six months ago, I saw a local fellow making note of my license plate number as I waited nearby the spot one Saturday morning. I asked him why and he shared that someone was stealing his stuff. I assured him that I had only a train in mind and we had a good conversation afterward. Nonetheless, I never felt quite as comfortable waiting around as I had before. I guess I had a better outcome than in Alabama where a local resident arrived with a rifle in hand to ask what a buddy and I were up to while waiting for NS at a scenic spot!

    Good grief. This one looks like it's also raining. You need a rust proof camera!

    Is it me or does street running look so much better in the rain?

    I have to say that scene looks very modelable for any era. Just a few details and it could be anything from the 1950s to the present.

    Thar's why town is named Rainier. It rains almost everyday from mid October through April

    And people in Seattle complain about rain. Actually there is a very good amount of sunshine up there. The rain is more to the mountain foothills twenty to thirty miles east.
