I just got back to my hotel room after taking a walk around Seattle after sunset. I've been here a few times but never went by the Experience Music Project building designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, who is well know for his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and many other buildings. It is located next to Seattle's Space Needle who's observation deck is 520 feet above the ground. The two structures are of conflicting forms, one as fluid as a river and the other as sharp as a granite mountain face but together can make a very interesting image. The exterior of Mr Gehry's buildings are very reflective and after taking a few minutes to position myself, I found a nice set of curving lines and a great reflection of the Space Needle on the Experience Structure. I originally shot this image about 3 hours before this final photo, but after getting off the monorail on the way back to my hotel, the light was much better about an hour after sunset. The sky was a nice rich blue and the lights on the Space Needle were turned on, the combination of the two made for a much stronger image. This image was created with the Tamron SP AF10-24mm Di II lens.
Love the reflections.
