A Martinez Point Of View: Photo Of The Week

MARTINEZ, CA — Perspective is all about how we see things, our point of view. For Martinez Patch reader Dee Ann Jones, this photo she took at Rankin Park made her appreciate the place she calls home — from its ample green parks and historic residential areas, to its business and industrial zones and beyond that, the waterfront and waters of the Carquinez Strait.

"I love our colorful community," she said.

Thanks so much for sharing, Dee Ann — what an amazing point of view!

It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take and We Share

Have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the East Bay, and that show off your unique talents.
