Day 196 and a view from the top

I took an unexpected ride on the ferris wheel at Navy Pier last night. My fear of heights and general uncomfortableness with being that far up off the ground prevented me from taking more than one pic, but I did manage to take some deep breaths and get this shot. It was actually nice up there when I wasn't focused on being scared out of my mind.

This is becoming my favorite cityscape shot of Seattle. I took a similar picture once before on a less dark and creepy evening and it still rocked my socks. It's like 1/32 the size of New York and I absolutely love it that way.

That being said, I'm happy to not have to see it for a few days while enjoying my nice long weekend in Hawaii. Goodbye dark and stormy, hello 80º and sunny! Let's do this!
