Calling All Amateur Photographers — Share Your Union City Pics

If a picture says a thousand words, then Union City Patch wants to write a novel.

We're looking for pictures of Union City that capture the culture of a community, share a beautiful scene, or tell a story.

Get snapping and then upload your photos to the Union City Patch Neighborhood Gallery.

The best photos will be used for features like "Pic of the Day," "Where in Union City?" and "Delicious Mystery."

Here are the kind of pictures we're hoping for from Union City photographers, whether you're using a smartphone or a professional camera:

• Food photos from local restaurants
• Landscapes, such as sunsets and views of the marina
• Pictures of local nature, including flowers and trees
• Union City event photos
• Pictures that capture life in Union City

Please include a caption with your photo describing where it was taken and any relevant context. All photos will be attributed to the photographer and may be used in future Patch articles.

How would you describe Union City in a single photo, or a dozen? Share your pictures here.
