Qwest is becoming CenturyLink…That’s what we’ve heard for weeks on TV prior to the finalization of the change over from one telephone company to the other. The name of the Seattle Seahawks Football and Seattle Sounders FC stadium changed about two weeks ago from Qwest Field to CenturyLink Field. It is a little difficult to read the new name on the roof of the stadium, because of the lighting in this night shot. The stadium is lovely viewed in the early morning from Victor Steinbrueck Park with majestic Mount Rainier framed between the roof struts. Qwest service trucks were some of the first equipment to have transitioned to the new name, but I spotted a company facility on 4th Avenue South in SODO that still bears the old name, Qwest.
Then, while turning around in their parking lot, I noticed this 12th Man Flag hanging in the warehouse doorway. GO Seahawks! What football team do you root for?
Lovely night shot!
Thanks… I am enjoying spending more time shooting in low light these days…some of the effects are spectacular, even ordinary things seem somewhat magical!
Go Patriots!
I’ve been to a couple games where we played the Patriots… honestly I can’t remember who won… I always enjoy the games! Especially if they are close or run into overtime! :-)
Wonderful night shot, Madge. The traffic in the foreground pulls you right into the photo.
Thanks Bruce… I had a difficult time standing on the bridge over Interstate 90 where it begins it’s 3,099 mile span to Boston MA, that where the headlights are heading, east. I have a fear of heights… but the photographer in me over-road the fraidy-cat!
Hey Madge! I was just at the field last Sunday on a tour. I posted about it on Monday. I love that photo! Where did you take it from? I always find it difficult to get a good vantage point on Seattle.
I’ve yet to attend a game (or tour for that matter) in Century Link Field… my husband and I attended quite a few games at the Kingdome. I sent you an email explaining the location of this photo shoot location…
Beautiful stadium. We can’t wait for the change to become final here.
Thanks….I talked to a fellow juror recently when I served and he was a technician for Qwest (now Century Link) and he thought the transition was positive…
Very nice image, with the color and the sweeping curves of light. My team? The Patriots, of course.
Thanks Jack! Another Patriots fan, so is Birdman, I’m out numbered here! Lol!
Madge,
Thanks for stopping by Wooster Square Daily Photo. I love this shot with the blues and greens and the horizon.
Thanks Suzanne… I love those colors too!
I love this! What a cool photo. You found an excellent vantage point – dealing with your fear of heights was worth it :)
Yeah.. being scared to bits over and over was work every excellent image I got… glad you like it!
Hi, Madge. We came across your picture and just wanted to say “wow!” Not everyone gets to see this stadium at night, but you captured the beauty of CenturyLink Field very well!
Thank you for stopping by… glad you enjoyed the view! :-)
