Golden Seattle

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 24, 20081,903 views31 comments

This was probably once in a lifetime shot for me. I do love Seattle but I rarely get up there to shoot pictures. I took a solo trip a couple weeks ago and the conditions could not have been more perfect.

Here we have the Space Needle at sunset with the moon rising over Mount Rainer!

Thanks for looking and leaving a comment or suggestion or critique

I don't think you will find a better cityscape/landscape combo anywhere. Excellent work.

Awesome shot. I would get a hold of the Seattle tourism bureau if I was you! Makes me want to go there even more than I already did.

Beautiful capture. You made the utmost of a great opportunity.

Note: I've looked at this a few times, and on my monitor, the shade of the sunset looks a touch unnatural. The only thing I would adjust on this is the strength and hue of that color. Could be my monitor, though.

Easily one of the best cityscapes I've ever seen, and it's the combination with natural elements that makes it so special. Light, composition and the elements present are all just perfect and very very special. Great!
