With The Wedding Planner

This couple was scoping out the Chinese Room at the top of the Smith Tower for their reception. Love is so beautiful and hard to find. I wish them the best. Photographically this shot stinks, but the moment was a serendipitous one I wanted to show. This room is one of the most popular for small receptions due to it's historic setting and it's amazing 360 degree view of the city, sound, and mountains.

Epiphany

While most Seattlites who celebrate it have removed the Christmas decor from their homes, and a blue and white flag has taken the place of the lighted outline of a Christmas tree atop the Space Needle, some are celebrating Christmas today (Epiphany) with observances around town. So, here is the last hurrah of the season. This was the space-age (early 60s George Jetson feel) Christmas decor inside the top of the Space Needle's observation deck. It has just been put away for another year.

Peek-A-Boo #2


Photo & Text Copyright 2007 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.

I've been playing with different compositions using the ever watchful Space Needle which peeks out at me from all kinds of perspectives around the city. Last Friday you saw it peeking over McCaw Hall (if you looked closely enough) , and you've seen my first "peek-a-boo" take on it, "Split Rectangle," which I use as my Flickr site avatar. I'll be sharing a few more of these shots with you. Here the Needle is peeking at me over the top of a huge tile mosaic installed for the World's Fair in 1962 on the grounds of Seattle Center.

Very Deco

The top of the multi-story Harborview Medical Center on 9th Ave., viewed from 6th Ave. below the rim of the freeway. The building's west facing exterior is an amazing period piece. Harborview is a huge complex consisting of several large buildings and a heliport atop a parking structure, and is the city's major trauma center.

Three windows on Shilshole Ave. catch the day's bright goodbye on a cold winter evening. I loved the blues and yellows of this shot.

Pike Place After Market "Snow"

I happened to be at the Market after hours and came upon the fish sellers' display case ice which had been tossed out into the street. Don't eat fishy snow! Just hours earlier two "FREE HUGS" people had been standing in this very spot spreading warmth to the braver of the curious passers by.

Theme Day: Seattle Daily's Best Photo of 2006

52 City Daily Photo sites around the globe are participating in the 1st January theme, "My best photograph from last year." Please use the links to below to visit them. Remember time zones vary for these sites. Enjoy the best of City Daily Photo Bloggers photos of 2006!

"Drop" was the close detail of this photo published earlier this year. When I took this photo of rowers returning to the dock at Pocock Rowing Club on the ship canal near the east side of Lake Union, I hadn't noticed the perfect water drop splashing up from the surface of the water under their oar. I received very kind comments at the time that the entire photo (posted at my More Seattle Stuff site) was "post card" worthy.
