I'd been thinking Smith Tower in Seattle would make an interesting subject for a black & white minimalist photo. It's almost monochromatic to begin with and stands largely by itself on the south end of downtown. On top of that, our cloudy winter climate provides the right weather for simplifying the scene.
Washington Series: Seattle Skyline
The best view of Seattle's skyline is from Kerry Park. Sunset at Kerry Park is quite an event, many folks meet, share a beer and a pizza, and on this day there even was a sunset wedding!
Den besten Blick auf Seattles Skyline hat man sicherlich vom Kerry Park aus.Der Sonnenuntergang im Kerry Park ist ein regelrechtes Event: Man trifft sich auf Bier und Pizza, und an diesem Abend fand dort sogar eine Sonnenuntergangs-Hochzeit statt!

The Seattle Great Wheel is a giant Ferris wheel at Pier 57 on Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington. With an overall height of 175 feet (53.3 m), it was the tallest Ferris wheel on the West Coast of the United States when it opened on June 29, 2012.
The inauguration ceremony and opening to the public was on June 29, 2012. Participants in the ceremony, which took place at 2:30 p.m., included a presentation of colors by the US Coast Guard, a speech by Seattle mayor Michael McGinn, and entertainment by the University of Washington cheerleaders, spirit team, and marching band.
Seattle was the third city in North America to offer a wheel of this design, following the Niagara SkyWheel at Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Canada, which is also 175 feet (53.3 m) tall, and the larger Myrtle Beach SkyWheel in South Carolina, which is 187 feet (57.0 m) tall. The Seattle wheel is the only one of the three to be built over water.
The Seattle Great Wheel has 42 climate-controlled gondolas, each able to carry up to eight passengers (except the "VIP" gondola, seating four), giving a maximum capacity of over 300. The 12-minute ride extends 40 feet (12.2 m) out over Elliott Bay.
My first visit to wonderful little Kerry Park, the best view of Seattle and the Space Needle! Lovely evening. Washington State, USA. Thank you!
Panorámica de 6 tomas verticales desde la Space Needle. El lago no es tal ya se comunica con el mar y es de agua salada. Es parte de una ría complicada.
Seattle was wonderful
Tour the city
See the beautiful architectural work
Just like the facade of the Aquarium
Sleepless !
