Seattle Skyline rethink

It never hurts to get another viewpoint ...another way of looking at the same thing. My nephew Kenny said it was too centered when I first posted this image and so I played around with it until I came up with this version. Took a lot more time and effort but I think in the end it is better.

Across from Elowah Falls

Another shot that didn't come out the way I thought it would. Nice lines but the colours are blah. And the shot isn't sharp at all. Have no clue what to do with this. Great looking at it though.

This was such a terrific vantage point to shoot from or so I thought. Somehow the photo never lived up to the reality and I don't know why. Shot in the late afternoon (I would have loved to have shot this at twilight) it somehow didn't quite come up with the tone/mood that I envisioned.

This is what happens when it's raining and a strong runoff is going in the Spring. Water everywhere...my glasses were foggy and watery. The camera and the lens were getting wet. The lens was impossible to keep clear. Not much one can do when the waterfalls is spraying water all over the place. One can only back up but then the optimal vantage point is gone. It was beautiful though.
