Looking back towards the village from the point at Dark Corner I couldn't help thinking of an ancient train line, running on rails right into the bay.
After a busy few weeks at work it was so nice to get out and enjoy the sunset in such peaceful surrounds, just a few seagulls for company.
Have a great weekend!

Tacoma is a mid-sized urban port city in and the county seat of Pierce County, Washington, United States. The city is on Washington's Puget Sound, 32 miles (51 km) southwest of Seattle, 31 miles (50 km) northeast of the state capital, Olympia, and 58 miles (93 km) northwest of Mount Rainier National Park. The population was 198,397, according to the 2010 census. Tacoma is the second-largest city in the Puget Sound area and the third largest in the state. Tacoma also serves as the center of business activity for the South Sound region, which has a population of around 1 million people.
Tacoma adopted its name after the nearby Mount Rainier, originally called Takhoma or Tahoma. It is locally known as the "City of Destiny" because the area was chosen to be the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century. The decision of the railroad was influenced by Tacoma's neighboring deep-water harbor, Commencement Bay. By connecting the bay with the railroad, Tacoma's motto became "When rails meet sails". Commencement Bay serves the Port of Tacoma, a center of international trade on the Pacific Coast and Washington State's largest port.
Like most central cities, Tacoma suffered a prolonged decline in the mid-20th century as a result of suburbanization and divestment. Since the 1990s, developments in the downtown core include the University of Washington Tacoma; Tacoma Link, the first modern electric light rail service in the state; the state's highest density of art and history museums; and a restored urban waterfront, the Thea Foss Waterway. Neighborhoods such as the 6th Avenue District have become revitalized.
Tacoma has been named one of the most livable areas in the United States. In 2006, Tacoma was listed as one of the "most walkable" cities in the country. That same year, the women's magazine Self named Tacoma the "Most Sexually Healthy City" in the United States.
Tacoma gained notoriety in 1940 for the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which earned the nickname "Galloping Gertie".
The weather is getting cooler and so I finally get to wear by coated black skinny high rise jeans by Goldsign. Goldsign jeans have the most perfect cut Iâve seen in a while because theyâre are super stretchy!
I paired them with this Britt shirt by one of my favorite new emerging LA based fashion brands Rails. Be sure to check out Rails as their collection is super cool!

Some day a work gang will, presumably, pick up these used diamonds in Fostoria, Ohio, that once were part of the crossing of the CSX Pemberville Subdivision and the Fostoria District of Norfolk Southern.
