As I continued my photo adventure, I arrived at my hotel near the Space Needle well after the sun had set, but the area around the Needle was still alive with tourists and nearby residents.  The black sky was a great backdrop for the stark lines of the Needle.  I toyed a bit with my flash, but was mostly helped by the great nighttime lighting of the urban art.  

Space Needle - Seattle, WA

In the daytime, the Needle had a different feel.  It was a little less space age and little more like a funky decoration in the urban garden that is Seattle.
