On sunny evenings it is fun to head to one of Seattle's treasures, beautiful Carkeek Park, and have a picnic supper, play on the salmon slide, watch the eagles, listen for the trains, and walk down to the beach. This is a view south from the pedestrian bridge over the tracks. The cove is north beach past which is Golden Gardens on the point and on the hill are the Ballard neighborhood's Sunset Hill, Loyal Heights, Olympic View and Blue Ridge areas. I took this shot using the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.
