Street Views from Seattle – A Late Afternoon Stroll

Street Views from Seattle

The other day as I was taking a stroll around late afternoon I was fascinated by the interactions of clouds and the rays of the setting sun. As a photographer I decided to capture the moments, and share some of my favorites with you here.

Because of its natural setting and architectural variety Seattle presents many interesting and fascinating street views. All you have to do is to keep your eyes open as you move around the city. Rapidly changing cityscapes and weather conditions both further enhance picture taking opportunities.

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.

Street views from Seattle is an ongoing project of mine. As some of you know I was a newspaper photographer and photo journalist for many years. Therefore recording the street views around me has become second nature. And it has become a lot easier as well. I used to carry at least one Nikon SLR around with me everywhere; I felt naked without it. But while I miss film photography I have to admit that my iPhone Xr is a lot easier to lug around.

As I start recording an entirely new series of street views in Sendai, Japan, I will keep sharing some of my favorite street views from Seattle from time to time.

Enjoy!

Born in Germany, raised in Canada, lived in the US, and moved to Japan, I am a well-traveled creative and storyteller. I love exploring new worlds, meeting new people, sampling new foods, and making new friends. Even better, I get to do all of this with Coco, the most awesome life and travel partner ever! When I am not exploring and writing about it I work as a foreign language editor and native checker at the Tohoku University School of Medicine. I also enjoy gardening, eating, and spoiling our two Neko Goma and Pixel.
