One of those rare times when there were no container ships unloading here so I could get just the walkers.
The way I have heard it is, Lucas was being driven across the Bay Bridge when he saw the cranes at the Port of Oakland and started sketching them. They became the walkers. I don't know if it's true, but it is a fine tale.

Maybe once, we will ask ourself why people where masked in the street. Maybe once, Covid19 will be a story like 'Spanish Flu' in 1918.
From 1918 to 1919, a particularly virulent and contagious influenza virus called "Spanish flu" broke out in the United States, then in Europe, before spreading to all continents. Contrary to the name attributed to it, Spain is not, however, at the origin of the Spanish flu. The virus was named so because at that time Spain, which was not engaged in World War I, was not subject to censorship. Unlike her neighbors who seek to hide their dead, she freely and publicly publishes information about this disease, hence the name "Spanish flu". A real human and health disaster, the Spanish flu will last two years. More deadly than the Black Death of the 14th century, the Spanish flu claimed two to five times as many victims as the First World War which took place at the same time...
What about Covid2X ?
Mt. Walker, located in the Olympic National Forest, is the only peak facing Puget Sound that has a road to its summit. It is densely covered with 100 year-old Douglas-fir trees and Native Pacific rhododendrons. The south viewpoint is at an elevation 2805 feet.
The Hood Canal and the nearer Dabob and Quilcene Bays are the waterways in the foreground and Puget Sound is in the distance. Seattle, 28 miles away, is faintly visible at the horizon

I got a lot of very nice photos of the incredible dawn this morning, I will upload some more later.
We are in lockdown, and have to remain within 5km from home.... hence returning to this location :)

Dor Walker, here's my version... adjusted various tones & hues plus the little puddle. Tried to add some punch to it but don't know if I succeded.
Thanks for the challenge!
