Pike Place Market
Another beautiful day in Seattle, and this time down to the market. I like this market: it is almost like Portabello Road Market, but it is smaller and a little more touristy.
The fish market is one of the best things about the Pike. Really fresh fish and a circus atmosphere as workers throw fish around, or rig up fish on string to scare the tourists.
There's plenty of neon at this market. I love the look of neon, especially at twilight.

Space Needle
The Space Needle towers over the very cool architecture of the Experience Music Project.
You can see the Space Needle reflected in the EMP's pink-hued building. The EMP is just a simply cool looking building. I wish I had the time to go in and visit the exhibits, but it takes over two hours and they closed early on Sunday.
This is the best of the views from the Space Needle. I gotta say, it just isn't worth the $13 ticket ($17 for you to get a night view as well). The Needle's webcam is probably a better value, and it lets you see previous days if the weather is bad.
The problem with the view from the top of the Space Needle is that the Needle itself is largely responsible for Seattle's skyline. Obviously, when you are inside, you can't see it. The view from below, on the other hand, is pretty amazing.

Seattle
The Space Needle towers over Seattle and is the defining feature of this city's skyline.
Seattle is surrounded by water, and on a beautiful day the sun just blinds you.
