Photo Walk Description

We’re going to walk the land where Seattle’s founders — the Denny Party — established the first “Seattle” before crossing Elliott Bay to set up the city permanently. I love the skyline at twilight, so we’ll walk north, but there’s something to be said for “south” as well … Parking can be tricky on a nice day, so give yourself plenty of time. And bring cash for the after food-drink … it makes everything SO much easier!

    I’ve created a Flickr group for members of this walk … but remember: to have your BEST photo considered for the prize, it needs to be added to the Scott Kelby site by the deadline.

    Meant to make a friendlier name for the Flickr group:
    http://www.flickr.com/groups/alki_photo_walk/

    I am @swortzphoto on Twitter … how about #alkiwalk as a tag for discussions in advance?

    Sorry — one more thing: IF you decide to join the Flickr Group — please include your REAL name (or at least the one you used here) in the request so I can approve you.

    Thanks!
