Here is a morning view from the northwest end of Beacon Hill at Dr. José Rizal Park. This park and the nearby Doctor José Rizal Bridge built in 1912 honor the memory of the famed Filipino patriot. Over 30,000 Seattle area residents are of Filipino heritage, and this park with one of the city's most spectacular overlooks has strong associations with the Filipino American community here. The mosaic you see in the foreground and below is titled East Is West. One can look through shaped spaces in the mosaic which frame the skyline view. It was created by the late Seattle University art professor Val Laigo. This post goes as a shout out to lovely Hilda of My Manila Daily Photo, one of the friendliest bloggers on the planet whose great coverage of the Manila metro area is a real treat for all of us in the City Daily Photo Blog community.
