Someone must have traduced DP, for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning and hauled before the Court of Public Opinion.
Now he is enjoined from using Photoshop or coming within 500 feet of Adobe Corporate Headquarters.
The SWIWS legal team is putting together a response to this outrage even as I speak, but in the meantime, here's something to look at:
And may you all be smited with a great confusion of tongues.
I may barking up the wrong shrub (ha) and your final line makes me think these would be near a church, but my first thought (always go with your first guess) is the shrubbery bordering the Forest Lawn Cemetery.
VB: I have but one word for you.
Ni!
As if I would be caught dead skulking around cemeteries, taking pictures.
Pfah!
(Oops. That's two words, isn't it?)

I would have guessed Forest Lawn as well, except that I wouldn't have guessed, since I won the last SWiWS, and haven't spent all of my $100,000.00 winnings yet!

The stepped fence suggests that this picture was taken on a hill.
Well, that certainly narrows things down, doesn't it?
Well, just about any photo taken within Seattle city limits was taken on a hill, mirabile . . .
But yes, technically you're right. This particular hill is running south, but the shot was taken facing slightly southeast.
Here's a slightly more revealing view:
This is one of those many West Seattle things — like the "Dont Tread On Me" medallion from last week — that hides in plain sight. However, unlike the medallion, which was a small thing, this is quite a big thing.
A great big thing, in fact.
In spite of its size and its (one would think) striking appearance, we have become so accustomed to seeing it every day, as we whiz by on our Segway personal transporters, that our awareness of it has been gradually shifted and re-shifted within our brains. Until, finally, it gets filed away in some dark little cubby-hole labeled "permanent storage" — alongside the billboard advertisements, speed limit signs, and other cortico-subliminal junk mail.
And I can't believe I actually just said that . . .

DP,
I'm bumping this - just cuz I love SWiWS - I don't have a clue but will guess somewhere in the Delridge/16th Ave SW area or maybe 106th SW...give another hint! Oh yeah and Plant Amnesty would be abhorred with these Shrubberies (even though they were not expensive - Ni!)!

i think you mean, "smitten."
or is that a clue? maybe some kind of institution of lower learning? :D
OK, redblack. (But just between the two us, all right?) —Let it be "smitten."
Or perhaps what I actually meant to say was "smitty."
Uh-oh. What's this? I seem to have left out an essential comma, as well. Tsk tsk.
So what it should've been is this:
May you all be Smitty, with a great confusion of tongues.
:-P
8-B
:-b
Tsk-tsk.
You would seem to be pretty clueless this week, West Seattle.
Yet, if you'll but examine the map with care, you shall discover that you are not utterly clueless after all:

And I shall say "Ni!" again to you if you do not appease me.

You may pass!

And that makes you two wins in a row for you now, right Sly? Congrats.
Will they be throwing a Victory Party for you at work, do you think? Or would that perhaps not be such a good idea?
You ARE at work today, aren't you?
Sly?

And BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
Nope, I missed last week.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure a victory party right now wouldn't go over too well.
Of course I'm at work today. There's no place I'd rather be. However, lunch time is MY time!
