Aahhh, home sweet home. Gorgeous pictures, they turned out wonderful. I'm glad the weather cooperated for you on your trip!
One thing that I always have found so interesting is the fact that pictures are always framed to make the Space Needle look like it is right next to the buildings downtown and also make it look as tall as they are. But in reality the Needle is like 6 MILES from the nearest "tall" building and is quite tiny compared to them as well.
I attached a small crop from a picture taken directly above the airport I work... the Space Needle is that little tiny toothpick over at the far right. lol
