It will be up to you to figure out the basic what, where, when, and sometimes who of the photo. Readers will then have until the next Mainstreeter issue is published to solve the mystery by answering all the questions

Seattle's Terry Avenue Line Photos
  
Some years ago Alan Winston created a website titled Seattle Spur and Spot which  a page on the NP street trackage along Terry Avenue in the area south of Lake Union and was last updated in 1998. With Alan Winston's permission, Jim reconstructed the web page and moved it to a new site. On a 2001 Seattle visit, Jim took a number of photos along the Terry Avenue street trackage and they appear, including a comparison with Alan's photos.
