​Seattle Scenes (5) // The Seattle Center is another fun part of town to explore. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, it encompasses the iconic Space Needle, as well as museums, a food hall, the Climate Pledge Arena, a fountain for cooling off in the summer heat, and even a radio station.

​Seattle Scenes (1) // There’s more to Seattle than Pike Place Market. The waterfront, for example, offers beautiful views of the Olympic mountains, a variety of delicious seafood, and departure points for the Seattle Ferry system and other sightseeing cruises.

This abstract twilight image of the Olympic range utilizes a technique known as “ICM” (or Intentional Camera Movement). It was achieved by panning the camera to the right during a 1/2 sec. exposure.

​Pike Place People (1) // I could spend all day people-watching at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. A defining icon for more than a century, it is considered by many to be “the soul of Seattle.” The market spans nine historic acres in the center of downtown where everyday locals and tourists alike shop, visit, eat and discover.
