Yesterday John, Ryan and I spent a fun few hours walking through Seattle Center, peering up at the Space Needle and meeting family for a play at the Seattle Children’s Theater. I took plenty of interesting reflecting photos with this challenge in mind and even though you’ll still get a chance to see a few of them over the next week I found my final image at the end of the day in a different part of town. We arrived a few minutes early for our dinner reservations at Tulio and John was nice enough to excuse me while I ran across the street to take as many pictures of the Seattle Public Library as I could before the sun set across Elliot Bay.
Posted as part of the Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections.
Great photo of wonderful reflections in the angles.

I took it with my phone – It’s always in my pocket and ready for quick shots! Also, I ordered a Moscow Mule before dinner thinking it would be fun to take a photo but they did’t serve it in a fancy copper cup. 😦 It was tasty but not pretty enough for a picture… I’ll have to try again when we get together!

A Moscow Mule NOT served in a copper cup??? Sacrilege! They should be ashamed for even calling it a Moscow Mule! 🙂
We’ll have to source a joint that serves them more authentically when I make it out your way.
***Or — come to Toronto! There are a couple of very cool bars here, including one Russian-inspired one, where I’m sure we can get the real deal.

Beautiful reflection shot. The Seattle Library – made famous by Nancy Pearl – at least that’s what comes to mind. The architecture of the central library is really interesting.
