Skyline from Pike Place Photo

Photographer’s Note

Looking up above Seattle's Pike Place Market, you can get a real sense of the crispness of this attractive city on a clear day. Seattle has a reputation for frequent rain and it is cloudy here a majority of the days in any given year. So when the sky is clear here, it is well worth bringing out a camera.

Nice shot of my hometown. Must admit, I don't ever think I saw the sky that blue. Nice touch with the polarizer.

I like the way you've composed the shot, with such a variety of architecture packed into one scene. A lot for the eye to feast on, especially for a former brick-product specialist as I was! Thanks.
