Saturday Shapes Up… In Pictures
A normal Saturday shaping up in the News Bunker with the coffee maker pumping out lattes and omelettes floating out of the pan, our team of photographers out and about and chasing news and clouds and things that interest them. Bless ’em all – we like photographers. Highway 24 unraveled a little bit and “the…
Photographers Roam The 24/680
We like photography and photographers here at News24/680 and have been pleased by the contacts we’ve developed with artists who see things others may miss. If you’re a committed shutter-clicker with a penchant for roaming The Numbers and capturing things you see that others don’t, send your photos in for others to peruse.
“Yer Really Gonna Want That Undercoatin’ Package, Ma’am.”
(Said in our best Bill Macy “Fargo” car salesman accent…) Photo from the scene of an unusual crash at 1250 Walker Avenue in Walnut Creek Sunday evening. A trail of banged-up recycling bins led our man to this scene at around 8:30p.m. Minor injuries for the driver…

Crashes Continue Despite Temporary Storm Interlude
Well, that’s not what you want to see so early in the ‘morn. Flash Photo from the scene of that leaner off Moraga Way by the Country Club this morning and we understand the driver has been extricated. The crash was reported at 7:10am. Swift response by MOFD crews who were, of course, close by…
“Beer For My Horses…”
Under the wire for 2025 photo submissions comes this horsey contender, spotted behind the Clayton Club Saloon in Clayton by our Eastern Front photographer at large Gint Federas tonight. No word on what their humans are up to or if there will be galloping down Main Street tonight. Just as long as they’re not holding…
“Late Night”
Kicking off our photographic countdown of images from the past year with this gem – a snapshot of a moment on the beat with a geometric composition and lighting we found both appealing and revealing. We were on the blower with our photographer when he gave a subtle “wait” and we knew he was onto…
