Seattle at Night: Illuminating Space Needle + Lights

 

Possibly one of the coolest views of the Seattle skyline whether in the day or night. You can't quite define the city without the Space Needle! 

The Great Wheel by the Pier Waters

 

The classic Great Wheel in Seattle sitting pretty by the pier. 

Windy weather = clearing skies. With the clouds slowly breaking through, the sky looks so much like a painting with some wispy cloud strokes across it and faded blue colors in its surroundings.

After the Storm: Cloudy Sunshine & Glass Reflections

Chihuly Garden & Glass Part II: Walked outside of this spectacular museum and caught this at the right moment. The sun decided to come out and created these saturated cloud reflections on the glass windows!

Suzzallo Library's Historical Architecture and Design

The famous Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington, often known as the "Harry Potter room" by visitors. 

The peaceful, mystical library is known for its historical collegiate gothic architecture and interior design and is one of the most recognizable building on campus!

Underneath the Sea: Dynamic Glass Art Comes Alive

Chihuly Garden & Glass Part I: All of this is made from glass! It's pretty amazing the things you can create with a little imagination.

Chihuly Garden & Glass is filled with translucent glass art all around. The different sets are inspired by nature and sea life and infused with so many vibrant hues and shapes. The mix of sea creatures combined with the natural landscape really brings everything to life.

Awakened by the Sun: Pastel Winter Park Imagery

Winter doesn't need to be so dreary. On a rather bleak, grey day in Seattle, I stumbled upon this bridge that gave off so much serenity on a Thursday afternoon.

I liked the simplicity of this view but wanted to make it brighter and more hopeful. I decided to filter it with pastel vibes all over, lowering the saturation, drastically altering the hues, adding sun flare effects and blurring it to offer up an ethereal, dream-like feel.

Twilight Lights Glow in the Space Needle

Post-sunset times always have the best light. Loved how blue the sky was at this time! It's perfect with a bit of a darkness and the lights are slowly starting to shine from the Space Needle.

Unfiltered Life: Orange Sunset Glows by the Still Waters

The sky finally cleared up and I captured this photo of the sunset by the bay. The original photo was a lighter icier pastel shade of blue and yellow, but I wanted to give it a more tropical summer feel so I added yellow-green plus orange tones and extra contrast to give it an extra boost.

Blue Sunset Vibes Across Lake Union

One of those days I felt truly lucky when it came to the weather...gray skies all morning, afternoon and evening... But then around sunset, the sky began clearing up, with wispy cirrus clouds in all directions, making for a calming, epic pastel sunset to end a beautiful day in Seattle.

Seattle's Spectacular Skyline at Night

Sensational and phenomenal skyscraper skyline view of Seattle at night with intriguing lights, the famous Space Needle and the bay surrounding the city.

Night Sights: Illuminating Post-Twilight Skyscraper Lights

At the very end of the twilight hour, dazzling lights are seen all across Seattle with the Space Needle stealing the scene.

The Iconic Space Needle Shines Beneath the Clouds

A gray day in the city with drizzling rain, but even that cannot dampen the mood during my mid-afternoon walk. After strolling for half an hour, this one-of-a-kind tower appears and matches with the gray skies, creating the perfect seasonal photo.

Seattle State of Mind: Luminous Lights After Dark

Stunning night lights of nearby skyscrapers and vast views all across the city are seen on the 73rd floor. Perfect clear sights from the soaring heights call for a fresh perspective on the local landscape.

Classic Stroll with Hint of Surprise

While strolling northeast on an overcast day, I noticed this luminous building that offered such refreshing reflections of nearby buildings, trees, and more. I adored it so much that I took multiple pics in different angles. But what I did not notice (until I reviewed the photo later) was that there was also a reflection of the Space Needle! Such an unexpected surprise. I also decided to add a pale pink filter to the photo to liven up the fresh winter-spring vibe.

Vintage Reality: Captured in the Moment

Cool art displays and arrangements take over the Seattle Center. I decided to blur out the photo and include various effects to it for a vintage, timeless, artsy vibe. The pink background and sepia filter also heightened the mysterious, enchanting quality of this image.
