Living near Seattle in the Pacific North West definitely has it’s advantages. We are very close to the Cascades so if you like to Ski or Hike there are some very close locations. We also have an abundance of water. Seattle is located on Pudget Sound and between Redmond and Seattle is Lake Washington.
You can cross the lake using one of two bridges. There is the I90 bridge that takes you over Mercer Island, or you can use my favorite, the 520 floating bridge shown below.
To capture this shot I found the last bridge that crossed the 520 before the 520 crossed the lake and took root above the commuting traffic. This bridge has recently added a tole to pay for repairs and as a result there is quite a bit of “hardware” covering the road – which while being a shame doesn’t really hurt the image.
I found the location in Medina (very expensive area – where Bill Gates lives) and took the shot as the sun was going down after work. In the distance you can just see the University of Washington and behind that the Olympic mountain range. You can’t see Seattle itself as its off to the left of the shot.
My fun image today is Halo dude one giving Halo dude two a sponge bath! (No I don’t know why either)
