Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
I don’t know why, but sunsets and sunrises just draw me. I just can’t seem to help myself. Each one is different in it’s own unique way… and this one is no exception. Captured from the western edge of the Seattle Sculpture park, looking west toward the Olympic Mountains.
