The Atlanta skyline as seen from the top of the Renaissance Hotel in midtown.

Corpus Christi -- and the last day of my holiday vacation -- fades in the distance.

We managed to get a "reasonably" clear Seattle day to visit the Space Needle and were able to get a good view of downtown. We weren't the only ones with the same idea, obviously.

A jet flies high above the top of the Space Needle in Seattle.

I have no idea what this place was, but I assume it was a theater. We passed it while wandering around downtown Seattle in the early hours of the evening.

I could've taken photos of the green moss and yellow fall leaves of the Pacific Northwest all day long. I miss fall leaves. Houston doesn't really get them.

While searching for the bus stop, we came across the Seattle Public Library. It had a really cool building with all sorts of interesting angles.

On my third trip to Seattle, I finally got to the top of the Space Needle -- and on a relatively clear day too!

This is my first attempt at an HDR (high dynamic range) photo. It's composed of five exposures merged and tone-mapped in Photoshop. I have to admit that it didn't really turn out like I'd hoped. The sky was overcast and would've appeared washed out no matter how much I underexposed the image. And I guess I was expecting more texture in the trees as well.

I look forward to trying again though.

I haven't left the country in 18 months. I am starting to feel very wistful and antsy. Must. Leave. Country. Soon.

This was taken in 2004 in Cusco, Peru.
