Photo Project

For my photo project, I have chosen to display the beautiful city of Seattle. My family lives in this area and I was fortunate enough to be able to visit them this past August. Located on the eastern coast of the state of Washington, Seattle has the lively city life as well as the calm outdoor life. What I find most fascinating about this area is one day can be spent enjoying the city and the next day can be spent simply enjoying nature. My photos begin with a picture of the skyline at sunset. The space Needle is Seattle’s signature landmark. Another major tourist attraction is the farmer’s market at Pike’s Place, which is located downtown. Crowds come from all around to watch the flying fish show put on by the men and women that work there. Seattle has a reputation for coffee consumption, so it would only make sense the first Starbucks Coffee began there. Seattle is a major seaport located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington. The photos of the sailboat, cruise ship, and ferry boat represent just a few the activities that Seattle has to offer. Next, I move onto some photos that I took while hiking on a foggy day. On average it rains 150 days out of the year. Lastly, I finish my project off with photos of my hike in the Olympic Mountains. These photos really show off the amazing scenery this area has to offer.  Fortunately, the two days that I was hiking the weather was sunny and clear. Had it not been I would not have been able to see the beautiful mountain ranges. On our hike we went past many lakes. My personal favorite was Heart Lake. While hiking, I saw a different side of Seattle that I never knew existed. This side was quiet and picturesque. Between the Space Needle and Heart Lake, Seattle shows how a big city can coexist with nature.
