There is an original Bellingham in jolly old England as well, though there they pronounce the "g" as "j" and the "h" is silent, unlike here where we pronounce it like some pork product from Belling.

ER in Bellingham (WA, US)

Nice pic, by the way. Though of trying a little trials under the Aurora Bridge, but too many eyes watching. Freemont, where the city motto is "De Libertas Quirkas" (the freedom to be peculiar). They have a statue of Lenin there too.
