...seattle and our fixation with long pointy objects in the sky....

I'm finally getting around to posting our photos of Seattle. We had a relatively smooth ride, and were very excited to arrive at sunset in time to see this:

Of course, we missed this view from our hotel room because we were stuck in this:

Nevertheless, we were ecstatic to find that our room view gave us this view:

Which changed in the light of day, saturday morning:

and then again by saturday evening:

when we also watched this:

And then by Sunday morning we were greeted with this tremendous and way-cool fog when we opened the curtains:

We did OTHER things apart from just sitting in our room documenting the view. We also checked out some of the better known local scenery:

while passing some lesser known, questionable establishments:

In some places, the architecture provided distinct memories of our past - who would have thought you could find Jena's Intersh0p Tower and the NYC Fl@t Iron building in one shot??

Another great adventure was our relaxing trip to Bainbridge at dusk:

K and I both have fond memories of these:

And of course, we were tickled to note the first travelers allowed to leave the ferryboat:

On our last day we decided to make a quick stop at the Olympic Sculpture Park, an urban sculpture park along the water and railway. Very cool.

K was particularly taken with the ampersand:

whereas I felt quite an affinity for this piece that reminded me of bellies:

And of course, from every location there was a possibility to sneak a peak at this guy again:

And overall it was a delight to be walking along the harbor, in the fog, on a sunny autumn day:

This ends our fascinating tour of the City with this thing:

We had a lovely time, but were also very happy to get home to these little guys:
