Seattle in the sunshine
Here in Seattle a sunny sky is a serious thrill. This is from a few days ago, travelling north on the Viaduct. I know it’s not right to hold up the camera and take a photo (or, ahem, more than one) but as you can see, traffic was nowhere near. And the windshield was pretty clean, so what else could I do?
The tall black building is the Columbia Tower, whose 75th floor has been the source of the view of a couple of photos in this blog. In front of it is an oldie, Smith Tower. To the right you can see part of Qwest Field. Just beyond the railing to your left, not visible, is Puget Sound and the ferries and giant cranes of the harbor, but that’s for another photo.
Happy Skywatch Friday, everyone!
Oh, we have had some gorgeous skies lately, haven’t we, Sara? What a beautiful area we live in! Wow! blows me away and your shot is just the perfect composition, expression!
Have a great weekend — can’t believe it’s going to last too much longer, but I’ll take all I can get!

A perfectly great shot.

gorgeous composition
It is a pretty scene and lovely blue skies. thanks for sharing.
Naughty, naughty but a good shot considering how you took it. Nice blue skies….my favourite.
That sky is a serious shade of blue. And a good shot of the rapidly approaching city.
What could you do, exactly?! You were definitely in the right place for such a great composition.
WHat a gorgeous skywatch shot! I sure miss playing along on all the photo memes. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
HI! My daughter was just in Seattle for work… she said it was gorgeous this week! She was there since last Friday… I’ll have to show her this photo!
All the best for a wonderful weekend ahead! ~ Maria
Great photo – the converging road and traffic lead the eye right to the buildings.
I don’t think of Seattle as having blue skies – this is lovely proof they do exist.
Wow! What a crystal clear skyline…great capture. You’re a talented driver…and photographer!!
