Beautiful City of Seattle
Some end-of-the summer shots of some sites around Seattle. The views
never get old and some are simply magical.

Beautiful Historic Architecture
Meandering around Pioneer Square
one of my favorite neighborhoods
in Seattle.
Historic Lucknow building. The building mixes
moderate-income residential apartments with
retail space on the ground floor, adjacent to
Waterfall Garden. It was the first housing
demonstration project in the Pioneer Square
Preservation District.

Beautiful Manhole Cover
This made me smile.
Cutest manhole cover ever.
Beautiful Mural
When in Seattle come visit Wallingford,
a.k.a. Wallyhood, one of the most walkable
neighborhoods in Seattle! Visit great playgrounds,
parks, the library, historical buildings, lots of retail,
and an unreal number of restaurants….and don’t miss
this fabulous mural to boot. It’s not a Bansky but
beautiful nevertheless. Enjoy it.
Beautiful Architecture
Amazon is joining the party of novelty headquarters
by designing its new Seattle office in the form of a huge,
spherical greenhouse. Formed of three interconnected
glass bubbles, rising up to 30m tall, the complex will
reside amongst grassy mounds in downtown Seattle.
This little spherical utopia is conceived as the social heart
of a vast Amazonworld, covering over three city blocks.
I’ve decided to take on the task of photographing the
construction of this amazing project and create a building
timeline to not only share the ever-changing city skyline but
the effect it will have on the surrounding neighborhood.
Although these first images are random, as I go along the
timeline I hope to capture some from different perspectives.
Let the fun begin.
Here is NBBJ’s design approved by the City of Seattle.

Beautiful Symmetry
I usually have a preference for asymmetry but
I especially like the symmetrical pattern and
rhythm created by the forms, materials and
shadows in this photo.

Beautiful Georgetown Neighborhood
My favorite neighborhood lately is funky
Georgetown. It has the added distinction
of being the oldest neighborhood in Seattle.
With its own unique identity — one that’s
“industrial bohemian chic”, it’s one of the last
few remaining authentic neighborhoods in
Seattle. I love the grittiness, old rail yards,
bars with live music, coffeehouses, art galleries,
quirky culture, fun hangouts and restaurants
serving a diverse, hipster-leaning set.
Hidden amidst the sprawling warehouses
is an oasis of humanity.
