Mount Rainier


Commuting home saw this opportunity of taking a picture of Mount Rainier in a very clear afternoon. Snow levels reaching summer ones. This mountain never ceases to amaze me, it is a humbling experience hard to find anywhere else.

Art in the Center


Walking through the Center (Fred Hutchinson CRC) I found this piece of art among their huge collection. Decided to shoot this picture and share it with you all. Intensity in colours on a black canvas.

Walking through the city



Walking through the city I saw this intersection and decided to take pictures in both directions. On the one hand there is this nicely shaped building with all those geometrical figures, and on the other side the crystal dome of the city's convention centre. Geometry and symmetry is everywhere in Seattle.

Commuting in Sound Transit


This is what the 590 bus looks like in the afternoons if the one you take is the 5:12 one. Stuck in traffic in I-5

5th Ave In Seattle


Walking around downtown decided to take this picture to remind me we are in Spring even though we are still in the forties LOL.

Matador in Tacoma


This is a filtered picture I took a couple of weeks ago in Matador in Downtown Tacoma. It is a nice place when all you need is a drink to wind down.

Banana Republic



Walking close to the Convention Centre in Downtown Seattle I saw this peculiar building and decided to take pictures of it. It has a very stylish and decorated facade. Walking around it I realised it is the Banana Republic store.

Seattle's Best Coffee



I went to Seattle's Best Coffee and liked the contrast in colours, especially the red tones and decided to take these two pictures. The first one is not filtered, the second one is.

Another Glass Sculture


Another of Dale Chihuly's glass sculpture at the WA State Convention Centre.

Glass sculpture


Walking through the Washington State Convention Centre in downtown Seattle I saw this Dale Chihuly glass sculpture. I was hooked on it instantly when I saw the brilliant, impressive colours. The way it naturally shines and reflects light is remarkable.

What a nice engine!


A few weeks ago I decided to go for a test drive, decided to try one of those nice SS Chevy Camaros... this is a picture of it's engine, what a babe! :) thought I would share.

Glass Sculpture


So, this is a Dale Chihuly glass sculpture that is permanently exhibited at the entrance of the Yale Building at Fred Hutchinson. I really like the color intensity and contrast.

Weintraub Building


Took this picture yesterday, while buying coffee at the Weintraub Building coffee shop. It is a closed garden. You can tell Spring has started arriving to Seattle... in May! :)

Arnold Building entrance


Sunny Seattle, that's a weird event so this is a nice picture I took of the Arnold Building, Public Health Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson. It sure was a warm day!

Glass Sculptures


I took this picture a couple of weeks ago, while going to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. These are all exhibited in a train overpass, on a bridge. Go figure! Most, if not all, are Dale Chihuly's creations.

Mount Rainier


A nice filtered picture of Mount Rainier from I-5 Southbound, close to the Southcenter Mall in Tuwkila, WA. The snow levels are sure going up.

Downtown Seattle from Lake Union


This is the view from the roof top in the Arnold Building. :)

South Lake Union & Space Needle


Another view from the Arnold Building's roof top.

So, whatcha think?


It was sunny and that's a first in Seattle. I like the way the filter brings out the car's colour, don't you think?

An antique


Went to the gas station fill up the tank and this is what I saw. Decided to take some pictures, cars like this are rare.
