Foggy Christmas at the Space Needle

Fog adds an air of mystery and other worldliness to this predawn view of the Space Needle filtered through naked tree branches and the Monorail elevated line. This iconic symbol of Seattle is decorated for the holiday season annually each Thanksgiving and remains displayed until the fireworks celebration on New Years Eve at 23:30. The other morning though, the fog rolled in and out and around downtown as I sought to capture some of the prominent seasonal displays. At first I was disappointed that the fog was obscuring the Needle, but then it lifted slightly and the effect was so pleasing I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Today is my last work day until we return on January 4, you’ve got to love Christmas Break. I’m never sure who is more excited and looking forward to the time off, the teachers, staff and bus drivers or the kids… I won’t leave you with any doubt about my state of mind, yippee!! Yup, that fits the descriptive bill well! ;-)

  1. Oh, Madge, I would have been pleased with it too! It’s fabulous, perhaps one of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of the Needle. Surely you can find some contest you could enter it in. It would be a winner, that’s for sure. With your holiday upon you, I’m looking forward to more great photos!

    1. I haven’t actually wandered around the center much since taking my kids to the Science Center a lot when we home schooled years ago. But just like you, when I get up to Vancouver, I try to hit Stanley Park… love that!

  2. Wonderful photo! And enjoy your R&R. I work for a large pharm. co. and this is the second year we are totally closing from Christmas to the New Year (courtesy to this wonderful economy). Granted we use personal vacation time for this but this is normally a vacation week for me. Can’t wait! Merry Christmas!
