Salmon and a Sunset

Our Sunday afternoon and evening trip to Seattle finally gave us some time to relax. I've been training to sell appliances at a major player in the dept. store scene. And weekend trips will be harder to come by until after Christmas. We visited the locks and fish ladder at the entry to Lake Washington. It's the only fish ladder where fresh and salt water meet, we are told. The viewing windows shows Chinook and Sockeye salmon swimming upstream.
A trip to the Pike Street Market gained another bouquet of flowers for our counter. The purple and yellow dahlias are great.
Now that the sun is setting earlier in the evening, we waited for dusk. This is not really possible in the summer as the twilight and sunset are both late. Getting home after them is not pleasant. In any event, I finally was able to take some night shots of the city. Turned out pretty good, I'd say.

The park on Queen Anne Hill is on Highland St (or Ave. Or parkway or something). A three block walk to the west gets you to the west side of the hill which gives a nice view of the Olympics, Puget Sound, and some large marinas. The sunset there is also pretty nice.
