Spring flowers bloom in Seattle's Volunteer Park, Isamu Noguchi's "Black Sun" and the Space Needle in the background

Photos from a great early-spring day wandering around Volunteer Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle. The light is always pretty bad by the time I make my way over there. Perhaps someday I'll get there in the morning before it gets too hazy.

 

Volunteer Park is a very cool spot - it has great views of the city in most directions, has a 75' water tower with an observation deck you can walk up to, and also is home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum.

Some more info on Isamu Noguch's "Black Sun", from the all-knowing Wikipedia. I found it interesting that Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun was named for this sculpture.
