Also, I found a couple unique (to me at least) pictures of riders sitting at a stoplight. It almost looks like they are riding home like that and I was just wondering what the drivers in the cars behind them are thinking. Perhaps one of you who knows the local roads can shed some light on how proximate the intersection is to the actual route. I found these on flickr, but I honestly cannot remember what user posted them and couldn't relocate with a search.

Thanks again for all the great shots, all. I really need to move.
except for the absence of a ring in one pic, I would agree the 2011 and 2014 girl is the same.

Concerning the pic taken at the stop light - this is not along the established parade route. My guess is that this was taken pre-ride and that the girls were perhaps painted at one of the smaller, undisclosed body painting parties. They then rode together through Ballard to hook up with the main group.

Or it could be post ride (actually the location looks closer to Gaswork Park). Some riders ride back to their original start point (body painting party) before putting their clothes back on.

Nudity on Fremont day along city streets apart from the parade is not uncommon!
