Happened to be able to get this shot of The Gasworks buildings just before starting work the other morning, when blessed with this beautiful sky.
A candid portrait of my friend while we were watching the sunset from Gasworks Park, Seattle.

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town

This view of the iconic Vertical Retort building is taken from the end of William Street (outside Boags Brewery) with the mountains behind. The advertising slogan "COOK WITH GAS" can be seen in the brickwork (partly obscured by a recently renovated building in the foreground).
I just love this building for its industrial design and previously photographed it at night from another angle in the City Park.
As a result of operator error, I ended up using a fish eye lens. I had to do a bit of cropping to get rid of a strange vignette.
Note the glow of all the electronic devices used by the crowd below. Part of the Gasworks are visible on the far left and the tiny Space Needle is barely visible in the middle right side.

This is the gasometer near where I live. I can look out of my window and see it down the street.
This night it looked quite spectacular in purple. The light display changes.
The area here has been subject to redevelopment from what was once an industrial area adjacent to the river and shipping wharves.
The gasometer or gas holder will be familiar to many older people as they were a common sight in cities in years gone by.
One was kept here as a landscaped feature, used for open space and some special events, and is immediately adjacent to the shopping centre.
The suburb's present role as an up-market residential suburb belies its industrial past. Timber yards, asbestos works, wharves and woolstores once dominated the eastern side of the suburb. The tall iron structure of the No. 2 gasholder on Skyring Terrace is a remnant of the Newstead Gasworks, which was established in 1887 as Brisbane's second gas works.
