Loving the series. Wow, Seattle is a place I have to visit. Might need to include this during my first, yes first visit to the US in June..

Try late July or August. The weather is outstanding, mostly sunny days with very little rain (and I mean little, if any). Temperatures are generally in the 70s and low 80s. Just after the rainy season ends the greens in the Seattle area are remarkable, which is why Seattle is called the Emerald City. Combine the greens with the blue of the water and sky and the gold of the sun with snow-capped mountains in the distance (Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mountains to the west) and this area is fabulous. This is definitely a picture taker's paradise. The folklore is that the rainy season ends right after Independence Day (July 4th). For anyone who has never been here, this is a MUST visit.

Stunning shots, would like to go there one day, looks like an amazing place

Don't tell anyone else how awesome it is, I'm tired of all the people moving here! I think Snohomish county is one of if not the fastest growing county in the US... at least until Boeing moves!

Ditto, #1 is great.

Well im visiting the family from school here in everett. Do any of you guys have any recommendations on places to get goo cityscape shots?

south slope of queen anne hill and the alki beach area as well as gasworks park

if you want to move here see my real estate page www.theseattlenative.c​om

haha well i would take you up on that, as I want to live here forever, but i already have for 9 years, and just left for college a couple years ago. Never got into photography until recently, so I figure Ill take advantage of the scenery while im here

thanks for the location help!

Nice......

EVERYONE is going to end up there before I do. It's so... disheartening.

Awesome capture -- really like #1. I know that Christmas Eve/Christmas brought on some incredible weather, so glad you made the most of it!

Thanks yeah it was just really cold and clear and you could see mtns that were 100 plus miles away...no haze

That's the second reason I want to get out there in the winter. I was out there in the summer (I got in on the hottest day on record), and of the seven days I was there, I only saw The Mountain once. (And then it disappeared the morning after, when I tried to get a sunrise.)

I don't wanna take over your thread, but yeah, it's incredible when there's no haze.

Dont worry about a thread hijack....its a good landscape photographers conversation to have.

Heres another example of a mid December cold crisp shot (85mm looking west, and its level, look at the lower bridge)

Nice series Mike. Catching those sunrises are definitely worth it.

You didn't happen to catch this morning's sunrise did you?
