Climbing Needles

I’d convinced myself that there was no point in going to Seattle. I’ve been before, it is a half hour bus ride and I had work to do. Then I saw the weather outside, and I went anyway. Monorail – Space Needle – Pike Place Market – wonderful.
This is the tower reflected in the building nearby. Amazing stuff.
Another view from the top of the needle.
I took a bunch of pictures that will no doubt appear on these pages over the years. Then it was time to board the return bus and head back to pick up my luggage and catch the flight home. I’ve been using this rather cunning (I think) trick of getting up around 3:00 am while I’m out here to try and trick the body into not adjusting to the Seattle time zone. In a couple of days I’ll find out if it works…
It’s been a great trip. Very intense, but very rewarding. Great questions and interaction with the audience. Thanks folks.

I lived in Seattle a couple of times, before returning to dull, grey Britain...still have some great friends there...I'll go back one day...but your pics remind me how lovely it can be on a sunny day!
