 Yup, there's that Space Needle again! :P
Sure it's kinda' cool and I feel fortunate to have this view of it (even if humbled by some power lines in actuality). But it seemingly follows me around the neighborhood dominating the view and screaming to take center stage in every shot. I wanted to get a shot of Mount Rainier without the Needle (more to the right) for this challenge, but the weather did not cooperate. So... understanding I could not clone the Space Needle out of this cityscape (yes I asked!), I am hoping the star-burst and rooftops included here in this composition will give this a different look than I have shown at DPC before. And if their inclusion lowers my score a little, that's okay by me :)

Next time I'm in Seattle can I come by? What a great view. This one should be on a post card.

Ribbon contender! If this is truly the view from your front yard, I'm so jealous :-)

Beauty. That light really sets off the composition as well. Excellent. I wish I lived that close to Sonic Boom.
