Seattle Space Needle view pictures set 5

Continuing from my last post, these are still pictures from the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. These are all thumb links to large photos so be sure to click to get the full effect. I am amazed at all the details our digital camera was able to pick up.

This is just a beautiful view of the city and the bay.




This is another angle of the same area. I think we stayed up there over an hour and I just never got tired of looking and taking pictures. It was a cloudy day so that made it extra nice.



Just below us is what they call the music experience I believe. We didn't check that out but the building looked cool and funky. Even from this vantage point, you can tell it is whimsical.





It had a lot of weird shapes and the monorail passed through this area. It sort of looks like an amusement park, doesn't it. There are rides in the area.



There goes the monorail now. We did take the monorail once just for the experience. It is really something I would not ride again. Just another tourist trap.

The Space Needle is pretty high up and it sometimes hard to tell from the pictures. I do have a fear of heights, but the views are worth it.

Thanks for stopping by and have an excellent day. ;^)

Seattle Space Needle view pictures set 4

Back to the top of the Seattle Space Needle. My wife and I stayed up there probably over an hour. Even though we both have a fear of heights, we enjoyed the views and taking pictures.

Remember, all thumbnails are links to bigger pictures.

I do not know what this image is but it did look nice. However, the digital camera focused on the wires so it is blurred.


This is a view of the bay and docks. Notice the windows below the cables.


Now there is the famous globe and the park. Can't believe my wife and I walked all the way from there.


This looks like the same picture from above. Not sure what I was trying to capture.


I think this is a great shot of the lower rise buildings. I also think it is surprising to see the trains right there by the docks.


There were many vessels in the bay. They really do have a lot of traffic coming and going.










Across the bay here is Alki beach. We traveled over there by ferry. Such a nice place.











I think I would love to live in one of the condo buildings on this side of Seattle. That is Belltown I believe. We did check out a couple of condo buildings during this visit.











This is a nice view of all the buildings you can live in Seattle. You don't realize how crowded the city is until you are looking down on it.











Another nice city view of all the buildings. My wife and I would really enjoy living here.











Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
