In today’s language, this house belongs to a one-percent-er, but I have a hard time feeling jealous of them. After all, if I had millions (or billions), I’d want a home in that exact spot as well.

When you go on vacation there are typically photos that you know about before hand, but this photo, I don’t think I could have anticipated even if someone had mentioned it before our trip.
If you stand on the loading platform for the Bainbridge Ferry you can see this one tree that is missing in the treelike along Wing Point. But the windows along the platform are highly reflective; all of them except for the one window that allows you to line up the Space Needle with the empty spot in the treeline.

We stayed in a VRBO in the building to the right of this photo, and walking out to this patio / sidewalk each day was so welcoming. There was a variety of restaurants and entertainment along the first couple of floors and then housing in each building’s higher floors. Down near Skillet was the alleyway that leads up to Pike Place Market to the North, and as you can see, the stairs down led to the waterfront walk. But…don’t ask about the rent.

We took a sunset boat ride out into Elliot Bay on our second to last day in Seattle. The colors in the sky were spectacular, and they mixed so well in with the colors on Pier 57. I hadn’t brought my wider lens, so I’m a bit sad that it’s so tight to the edges, but I love the colors!

This might be my most serendipitous shot from our Seattle trip in October. Sarah and I were walking back to our VRBO that evening; Sarah wanted to look at a chocolate shop, but as we passed Union Street, the moon caught my eye. My feet were tired and I didn’t have my tripod with me, so this was taken with my Sony propped on top of a circular railing over the 3 story drop onto Post Alley. I probably took more than a dozen photos in my attempt to capture the scene; the ferris wheel would stop rotating, someone else would bump the railing, or I wasn’t standing perfectly still … but in the end I captured this 4 second exposure and only later discovered that it included Venus!
