Neat picture I took from a plane yesterday

I fly a lot for my business, and often take photos out the window. I shot
this coming in to Seattle from a meeting LA yesterday just before noon.
Kind of a neat view.

Very cool shot... it's not often they fly directly over the Space Needle like that!

 

Thank you. I Agree - it was a fun approach. Normally at least a mile to the east, and higher
up. Tried to get a shot of the stadiums, but a stupid cloud was in the way

I do have a great shot I need to find and post here - the day the Seahawks
won the championship and were Super Bowl bound, I was flying in from a NAMM
show in Anaheim and took a shot over Seahawks Stadium at the exact moment
the game ended, and in the photo you can see a ZILLION camera flashes going
off! Amazing timing... I'll see if I can find the shot.

Oh....we were concentrating on the Space Needle?

I was trying to figure out what structure next to it was...the gold, red, and white blob.

 

The EMP - Experience Music Project - Paul Allen's [failing] tribute to Northwest
bands - except that it doesn't include Hendrix (family pulled the plug since they
own all of Jimi's rights), and all the 'grunge' bands (Nirvana et al) are in a single
small case. Most of the rest is devoted to unknown 50s and 60s bands, only
one of which was famous - The Whalers (Louie Louie).

I was once on the elevator to the top of the Space Needle with a German couple.
The husband asked, "vas ist dis big blob - ist this building that collapsed during
construction?" My kids and I all laughed, and explained the bizarre architecture.

I wrote a blog about that day here: http://tinyurl.com/mag7vd - if you're
curious about the EMP 'blob'.

lol thats the Experience Music Project building. Its got to be the ugliest building ever.

 

I agree. I was really disappointed the first time I saw it. I think it detracts from the rest of the Center.

 

I thought it was a smudge on the lens.

 

Allen's money doesn't mean he has class.

 

Nor is it often you can get a clear enough day in Seattle so that you can take this kind of pic. LoL

Sweet pic!
