A taxi turns onto Ballard Avenue from 22nd Ave NW on a rainy December night. Ballard's historic district features a lot music venues, restaurants, tea and coffee houses, and bars, so night life is usually pretty lively, but I took this late on Sunday night while walking after a show and it was pretty quiet. The Ballard neighborhood was not annexed to Seattle until 1907 and had its own city hall which stood on this site. The original bell from the city hall is housed in this Centennial Bell Tower now part of Marvin's Garden Park, named for Marvin Sjoberg, a beloved neighborhood character known as "the mayor of Ballard" from the 1960s until his death in 1989.

The street looks like it's paved in gold. What a wonderful image this is, Kim.
looks great Kim. But for the life of me I don't remember this. I grew up near Ballard and went to school in Ballard but don't remember. Now the Tractor Tavern--that's a whole nuther story. LOL MB
BTW: the mussels are going in a Captains Stew I'll let you know when it is ready. MB
Excellent capture of the reflection of the lights on the street. Really a scintillating photo!
Gorgeous and golden. Marvellous view.
I love your photography Kim. I'm an inspiring photographer myself but I'm only 16. Just getting the basics down. But your work is amazing. Your my new inspiration.
Gorgeous shot! I love the lights gleaming on the wet street. Coupled with the motion of the taxi, it somehow looks busy and peaceful at the same time.
