Faux sunset created by city lights

Lights from the city of Seattle reflect off clouds during a time exposure, creating a false sunset for the camera to record. The photo was taken well after sunset, when it was fully dark.

Twilight on the Seattle waterfront

After wandering around the city streets all afternoon with my camera and tripod the other day, I found myself at Bell Harbor, just adjacent to Seattle's downtown.  This turned out to be the last and best shot of the day.

It was only Alki Point, but it felt like the Arctic...

A cold and bitter wind blew over Alki Point late this afternoon, and my friend Mahesh and I shuddered as we clicked our shutters.  Nice light though, and it was worth braving the wind chill factor.
