"Awaiting the Fireworks" by ADHD

Seattle at Night 4th of July

Independence Day in Seattle was a cloudy affair. Several people commented to us that they weren't even going to bother with the fireworks, because it was too overcast for the display to be worthwhile. Just before sundown, though, the sky moved off. We turned the corner along the Burke on our way to Gasworks Park, and there was the city, across the water, in all its reflective glory. Buildings casting shadows against one another, and a breathtaking sunset shone from their windows.

Clouds swept along the very peaks of the Olympics, and a long, tall, slender waxing moon appeared low above Queen Anne. The cloudy day gave way to a crystal clear, beautiful dusk. Minutes before the light show began, ADHD snapped this shot and dropped it into our Seattlest Flickr pool. Thanks for sharing!
