West Seattle scenes: Late-night low tide, stakeout, Stennis

| Seen at sea | West Seattle beaches | West Seattle news

Judging by our early-morning inbox yield, some folks followed up on the recommendation we shared Tuesday from Lura, who sent info about late night low tides continuing the next two nights – David Rosen from SlickPix Photography saw the stars you see above, and the Alki curve you see below:

We also have a bit of video from Alki – WSB contributing reporter Mary Sheely was out with husband Dave Sheely (catch his designs at Urban Craft Uprising this weekend!) and they spotted this camouflaged crab:

Also a photographer’s delight – the full moon that’s just graced us – the prospect of seeing it come up pre-dusk led to this lineup:

Thanks to “westseattledood” for that shot of photographers staked out at the Admiral Way viewpoint last night, awaiting the moonrise over the downtown skyline. Haven’t seen any photos of it yet but we’d love to run one if you have one! Facing the other way, we received a few dusk photos of the USS John C Stennis out and about again – this one from Chris S with the Olympics’ “The Brothers” peaks in the background:

Thanks again to everyone for sharing photos and video – you can send it directly (editor@westseattleblog.com) or also share via Facebook or the West Seattle Blog group on Flickr.

hey westseattledood, et al; can we get at least one pic to share with westseattleblog from one of those photographers?

the moon rise over the city last night just after sunset was unbelievable; I tried to take pics with my little digital; too blurry

it started with the big orange eyes of the moon peeking over the mountains, behind the cityscape; incredible postcard material; glad to see there were lots of pros down there catching the beauty

Thanks for posting and for the Urban Craft shout-out! And thanks to Lura for letting us know or we wouldn’t have gone done there. It was very, very cool. We also photographed some things I think had to be some kind of squid but I was too tired last night to send them…I’ll add them to the Flickr group later in hopes someone can identify them.

Sorry, comment time is over.
