Travel - Seattle
About a two weeks ago I flew to Seattle for a day to experience something new in my life. Just like any place I've been to, the first thing that I notice is their transit system is way better than that here in Detroit.
Light Rail Stadium stop
One of the first stops I made was to the stadium for both the Seattle Mariners (baseball) and Seattle Seahawks (football). While it was fairly easy to get there, it was a little harder to get a good shot of both stadiums.
While at the stadiums I hung around for a good hour taking pictures and trying my hand at street photography. Finally I made me way to my destination of Downtown Seattle. While there I explored and wandered. After getting lost for a minute I finally made way to Pike Place Market which is a sweet little street market with plenty of street vendors, restaurants, and merchandise for people of all types. As being out all day I needed to find something eat, I came across Athenian. Athenian is a fairly expensive restaurant, but it comes with a beautiful view of the ports while customers enjoy their meals.

Before making this trip I learned that on of the greatest marital artist resting and his son place was in Seattle so it was only right that I go and pay my respects. It didn't take long for me to reach the cemetery location. Lake View cemetery name does not lie. Once reach a certain peak of the cemetery you get a beautiful sight that is just memorizing. As I was there, there were others who also came to pay their respect and take pictures.

To round out the last hours of my trip I went to Seattle Space Needle and to the pier before heading home, the needle was something of courage. I have a major alto phobia (fear of heights). Getting pictures of the scenery was somewhat of a difficult task but I managed to do it. In the end I captured very beautiful images while 512 feet in the air.

I will most definitely return here one day and explore it even more. I can't wait.
“There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.”
“I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
