Memory Place


I walk by this spot every day going to and from car to work. I snapped this with my iPhone. Even on the many cloudy, dreary days it still brings back some memory. Kinda weird. Just little bits and pieces of memories. Time spent there as a kid, then as a teen, then an adult with my own kid, and now with grandkids. Just something about this view that triggers the memories.

It's the perfect spot. The spot all the tourists use for their shot of friends or loved ones with the needle in the background. Sometimes on the way home I'll stop and offer to take the shot so they all can be in the picture. How many images have been captured there since 1962?

Maybe that's why it triggers the memories. Because SO many have been created there? Maybe.
