Space Needle
The Space Needle is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest and symbol of the U.S. city of Seattle, Washington. Located on the grounds of Seattle Center, it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators -- 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is a tower 184 m (605 feet) high and 42 m (138 feet) wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. When it was completed it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.^ It is built to withstand winds of up to 240 km/h (150 mph) and earthquakes up to 9.5 magnitude (which, by coincidence, was just enough to resist Seattle's later discovered Cascadia earthquake) and has 25 lightning rods on the roof to prevent lightning damage.Top photos chosen by u all:
The Monorail
Made by xengravity
It's a shame this particular monorail only comes once every 30 minutes or so. The process of taking this photo went something like the following: - Walk around the general vicinity - Hear the rumble - Run to location, setup, position, get composure ready - Monorail zooms by before you are ready to shoot - Cry - Repeat Eventually you just realize you have to sit there the whole 30 minutes so you don't miss it every time.

stark
Made by Rachel-B
This was the overwhelming favorite for my Take a Class with Dave & Dave B&W Architecture Assignment. :) Yay! I wasn't sure if I really should use this one of the needle - I think because I see it practically everyday, it has become a regular object in my eyes. It's nice to step back for once and really look at it! B&W Conversion: Channel Mixer: R: 56, G: 52, B: 0 Levels: Input: 33, 0.68, 178
Space Needle - 12th Man Flag
Made by deVos
The Seattle Seahawks will be playing the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday in Detroit in the Finals of the American Football League, also known as the Superbowl. Texas A&M in the meantime are claiming the 12th man in court. Ah well, I was just glad to get this shots in between the rain, gails and storms :) updated: unfortunately for the Seahawks fans, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the final.
