Some memories from a beautiful city – starting with Chihuly of course!
It was also wonderful to photograph something for my uncle’s wife, Ann-Marie. She and my uncle, Kurt, lived over there for 17 years, mostly in Houston, Texas, but they got married in Seattle. At the World Fair in 1962, Kurt hosted the Swedish section, and met some famous people (like Robert Kennedy…) – I don’t know if he met Elvis, but I saw photos of him too at the inauguration of the Space Needle.
I know the young couple tried the monorail, which is still there today, but I could not find the exact place for the Swedish pavilion.
The more I visit cities with high rise buildings and skyscrapers, the more I use B&W. But Pike Market had to be featured in its own colours!
I loved especially the fish market, where fishes were thrown out to the buyers – from one hand to another. A merry market indeed!
Finally something seen from the Space Needle,
and from above the harbour area with all its piers.
I loved the view of the Seattle Great Wheel (opened in 2012) and its surroundings. In morning haze and B&W it emitted the atmoshere of an old movie.
So, Thank you, Seattle, for having us!

Such a great post that really piques one’s interest! I love the variety of beautiful sceneries as well.
I am glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Black and white does suit cityscapes, but Chihuly and the market definitely have to be in colour. Seattle looks like a very interesting city.
I haven’t been there since a few years after college, so of course it’s almost completely different now. I enjoyed all the photos (and all well-taken) but it’s hard to compare to a Chihuly. 🙂
What a lovely assortment – it took me right back to our own trip! We rode the monorail to the Space Needle and visited Pike Place Market of course but to my subsequent regret, skipped the Chihuly. I love your shot of the glass but my favourites here are the B&W ones, especially the view from the Space Needle and the one of the giant ferris wheel 🙂
Beautiful Seattle gallery!
Scenes from my home ~ you did a wonderful job in bringing out the beauty 🙂
Pike market looks quite a place!
Drama and perspective 🙂
Pike Market is extraordinary. It’s what I remember most from our visit to Seattle. I love your monochrome shots too.
Loving memories Ann-Christine.
