Departing Lines
Hello out there,
After spending a weekend in Americas most northwestern city, I can now totally confirm it. “Sleepless in Seattle” is not just a movie title, it is also the mantra of this city. It seems like there is just so much to discover, that you can’t waste a minute rest.
For a long time, I had been dreaming of visiting Seattle. I wanted to experience this city, everyone tells to be different than any other city in the states. But sadly I only had a short time frame during my stay in Vancouver to head down across the border and to fulfill this dream. Therefore I decided to use every second to see places like Pike Place Market, Museum of Flight, the piers and of course Space Needle, probably the most famous landmark in town.
But then I also got the recommendation from a travel companion to take the ferry from Downtown to Bainbridge Island. He promised me an awesome view of the skyline from the ferry and the island, which is located just on the other side of the bay. By then I gave up hope for any time during this trip to relax. But it definitely paid off. Already minutes after leaving the pier the perfect scenery started to build up. As soon as I got the whole skyline into the frame, I pressed the shutter and captured this photo.
