Seattle Docks At Night

For My World Tuesday, I'm posting the last of the Seattle shots from February, taken on our last evening there. We ate an enjoyable meal at a well-known seafood place,and I took this shot of their sign as we left.
There were a fair number of people out enjoying the surprisingly pleasant weather.
But I found that as soon as we were off the main street near the water, it quickly started to feel deserted, not a place to hang around. This final shot was taken on the way back to the car.
I'm sure we will be visiting Seattle again since we've got family there. In the meantime, I know that some participants of My World Tuesday live there, so click on the link and you'll see more shots from Seattle and around the world.

    The warm & vivid lights looks welcoming. Also looks like a good place to have dinner. My husband said that Seattle is really a lovely destination. Hope we can visit this part of the world soon.

    It does calm right on down, I agree. However, the colour on that first shot is certainly an eye full. Friends of mine have just left for a tour of the west coast of the US. I shall hear all about it upon their return.
