Seattle Hood Ornament

Perhaps only in the Pacific Northwest would a car owner replace their hood ornament with a leaping salmon. :-) I did a disbelieving double take as we pulled up alongside this black car, then hurriedly whipped out the camera and tried to focus. We were at a stop light and I was riding shotgun and poked the lens under the poor driver's chin! Happy blue sky Friday everyone!

  5. That's great! I wonder what the story behind the salmon is, other than it's a symbol of the Northwest...
