With only my IPhone and 20% battery left I entered this great exhibition where I immediately knew, that I had to try my best to cover those great exhibits with the (limited) equipment I had. Even in low light, the IPhone did a good job and I could go home with a bunch of great photos. 🙂 Then I was in a hurry, because 4 hours later was my flight from Seattle to London.
On my way back to the W Hotel I took some street shots. There I saw that friendly man who was waving his hand as he saw that he will be on the photo. Seattle is a very nice town with very nice people. I am lucky that I get invitations from Microsoft for attending the ECB briefings, where I can learn and explore the newest technical stuff and development and in the spare time exploring the city and neighborhoods. 🙂
On my last day in Seattle I walked around Space needle and was completely unprepared that I would see this great exhibition, Garden of Glass. There have been sculptures of flowers, trees and grass made from colored glass, artfully designed and presented in breathtakingly way. The artist’s name is Dale Chihuly.
Where to stay in Seattle? I can recommend the W Hotel, very good location, friendly personnel and nice rooms. Vis-a-vis you have a Starbucks, a bus station is in front of the hotel. They have a water dispenser with lemons and oranges, and it’s for free 🙂  .. and a nice lobby with a bar 🙂
Beside of the very fresh fish, exotic spices, good smelling soaps and healthy snacks the Farmers Market got famous because of that motivational book: “FISH: A Proven Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results” – the Pike Place Fish Market was the inspiration because of its fun, bustling, joyful atmosphere
Even in Seattle you can find some places with houses built directly at the sea, where you can put in with a boat and walk directly into your home. That’s really cool. If you go out of the house you have the waterway in front of you.
