sunset cruise

slowly cruising past the autumn sunset

As I was driving home last night, I saw a gorgeous sunset in progress and decided to head down to Kirkland Marina Park to get a few shots. I didn’t have time to dig my D70 out my backpack, so I stuck with my new Fujifilm FinePix F30 compact digital camera for the photos. They actually turned out quite nicely, and a few people at the park asked me to email them copies when I got the chance. I guess not everyone carries a digital camera with them at all times.

I was getting ready to head back home when I saw a car cruising by on the water. Yes, that’s a right. A car on the water. I stood there, kind of confused, kind of amused, that someone actually owned a car that doubled as a slow-going boat. The Curbside Dockside, as it was called, puttered past the dock and up the boat launch in the parking lot. The guy driving it said that some German company used to make these cars way back in the 60’s. I didn’t hear much more beyond that — I was too busy checking out the car and snapping photos (none of which turned out nice at all).

It’s times like this when I’m glad I always carry a camera with me.
