 Photographer’s Notes:
Lucky for me I live in one of the world’s most photogenic cities. We’ve had poor weather these last few days. Today it improved with some sun after days of rain. There is a park just north of the city overlooking the skyline. I ventured out and took about 90 pictures (various angles, exposures, focal lengths). And as I was packing up to leave, I noticed a jewel of a house just next to where I was taking pictures. Almost as an afterthought, I shot a few through the garden toward the Space Needle. The rain had greened up the garden nicely. And I liked the contrast with the sky and the skyline. Wish I’d shot these last week, however, since they would have qualified well for the Framing challenge.

Like this a lot! A touch of neutral density-type filter to bring the highlights on top down a bit, nice framing.

I would have preferred not to see the sidewalk but it is a great shot! The flower garden adds to the city scape. Keeps it from being ho hum and dreary. NICE!

I love the stark contrast between the buildings in the background and the nature up front. Good framing too (would have done well in the Framing challenge). Good luck in the challenge!
