Description

Chambers Bay, University Place, Washington.
These structures, and others like them, are left overs from when the area was a large gravel quarry.
It is now a park and golf course, on the shore of Puget Sound, one of my favorite places to just go hang out.

Very cool...both the structures themselves and your capture of them; I love they way they recede into the distance. #1436567

Fascinating structures here, Michele. It's hard to figure what they were used for and how, but the perspective and forms are great. #9921682

Well Mitch took at least the beginning of my comment away from me -- fascinating structure! I like the repeating receding shapes and the textures, but the color is what does it for me. Wow. #9923312

Michele Peterson level-classic January 16, 2012

Thanks everyone! I have no idea how they used these either, but I think they were connected like a bridge, where they would send the gravel down to maybe waiting trucks or something?? Not sure, but there are lots of these at different levels of intactness around the park. #9923488
