Thanks for the comment. Sometimes I just have to blab
about the neat stuff I encounter.

I live on the northeast slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle.
I'm far enough up the slope to look down on the Aurora
Bridge (crossing over the ship canal), but no where near
far enough away to get relief from the traffic noise.

If you are familiar with the area, the green belt I refer to
is where 2nd Ave. N is an undeveloped ravine; too steep
and unstable for homes or roads.
