Explore Seattle

People say it rains a lot, but I want to say that it is also a city with very beautiful blue skies. The sea and the shore beyond, coloured with greenery, which I found sideways while crossing the street. The sky between the buildings. A courtyard that looks lovely in the sunshine. The stairs. The roadside. Windows and shade that are a slightly unique combination.

Enter a street corner café and sit down. The roomy inside is also very relaxing, perhaps because of the years. Take a break to look out the window at the people and the light. Space Needle at the end of a series of monorail tracks. It's comforting to think that if the trees hide it, well, it just can't be helped.

No matter how many times I visit or how many years I live here, I can't remember all the streets and all the buildings, so I'm sure that if I walked on a sunny day again, I would look at the sun and the shade. Windows, greenery, blue sky and people. I'm sure I'd have a different view on a rainy day, and I'm sure that's the way it really is in any city. Walking around Seattle.
