Tomorrow we will return to Ashland. For my last photo from Seattle I offer the sign above the Pike Place Market.

I have seen many “city towers” in my day (Toronto, Montreal, Kyoto, etc.) and of the non-Eiffel Tower variety (i.e., not Paris and Tokyo) I must say I am most impressed with the Space Needle. Even though it is over 40 years old, it doesn’t look nearly as old as other, younger ones. It lacks the paneling and excessive use of cement that give other towers a tacky look.

Another picture from Pike Place Market in Seattle.

For a closer view of this amazing work at Experience Music Project, see yesterday’s entry on my other blog.

This is the fish place in Pike Place Market that is famous for throwing fish (as well as lots of other vocal hoopla) whenever a customer orders something. In this pic I was able to capture a rare, quiet moment at Pike Place Fish Market.
