Even at 76 stories and a height of 937 feet (285 m), Seattle's tallest building, Columbia Center, cannot manage to reach the blue sky on this cloud covered and blustery day of scattered showers. It is Skywatch Friday, and you can check the skies all over the globe or post your own Skywatch photo here.
awesome photo!

ReplyDeleteKim, thanks for your visit on my blog. Regarding the news about houses on the coasts built in low lying areas, there's been a lot said in the news here. Some houses were destabilisd following recent storms and this has set off warnings about rising sea levels and climate change. Some home owners are worried and others think it's an opportunity to buy cheap land with water views.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective with a wide-angle. That patch of Sidney Poitier above the Columbia Center is perfect!
ReplyDeleteIn case you don't make the connection, the movie was "Patch of Blue".
Very neat perspective and such ominous clouds!
ReplyDeleteLove this shot Kim. Boy, that's about the only blue around here today.
ReplyDeleteSepia and blue — how did you create this photo, Kim? It's wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHi Kim, it's been ages since I visited you, I've just been doing some catching up and am in awe as usual at your photos. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great city photograph. Very powerful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome perspective. I'd love to see the view from the top of the Columbia Center!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture though I love the Columbia tower a little less!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from so many of you on this one. As you can tell by my weird posting hours. . .life is jam packed at present. Thank you for your kind remarks and observations about this shot. I like Chuck's reference to the film title "Patch of Blue."
ReplyDeleteHilda, you asked how this shot was made. I wasn't happy with the building in the foreground which was looking very muddy colorwise. I threw the photo into Flickr's simple editor called Picnik, went into a feature called Curves, selected Ambrotype, then used a reverse effect to return the normal color where I wanted it. Very primative, I assure you. I will finally start learning and using Photoshop the first of next year, and those who cringe at my Micky-Moused effects should start to see a big change in quality (I hope).
Thanks again, and cheers!
