Changing Clocks
Loosing one hour of our day on a nice spring day is very unpleasant, but that what we had to do today. At least we’ll have longer evenings now.
Seattle at Night
Prior to my last trip to Seattle I did some research on where all of the most iconic Seattle photos were taken. One of the spots is at Dr Jose Rizal Park. With Seattle weather, being mostly grey during the winter time, I arrived on a super clear night, with no single cloud in the sky, so after landing, the first thing I did is went straight to that park to take a few photos, it could be my only opportunity to take these photos before clouds and rain come back to the city. I walked around the park and took photos from different vantage points. This one was taken at a very low point, actually if I remember right, not even at the park itself, but one of the service roads, right beneath it.
What a contrast. It’s almost as if the tree represents rural life and the city, urban life. Nature vs. concrete. Well done.
A wonderful shot of the city skyline. Good plan to go when the sky was clear.
Would have been a shame to miss the opportunity.
Hope you will consider hosting Flat Ruthie for an adventure.

Beautiful picture. On the clock- I begin to feel those precious 3 minute a day gains right after Christmas. I would’nt mind losing an hour of a day for the daylight. 🙂
Ciao, what a great shot, interesting juxtaposition of nature versus city. Lynne
Gorgeous shot!
I’m sure the hemlock tree is honored to be in your photo!
Hi,
That is a magnificent photo, I love how the tree really stands out in the front, a beautiful shot. 🙂
Nice! I’ve been waiting for a clear day like this before heading up to the park. I’ve been there in the daytime, and i’m looking forward to going back!
I need to take a trip to the park…it would make a nice change from my usually east facing perspective of the city
on a good night you’ll be joined by half dozen other photographers, at least I was. not on this night, as it was closer to 10PM, but it is crowded around sunset
might be kind of fun compared to the typical solitary shoot
Beautiful shot Dimitrii. I love the way you’ve composed this and how you’ve given the tree such prominence in the composition.
that is what I was hopin gto acheive, it came out nicely
Stunning shot Dimitri – great light and shadow. Cheers.
thanks 🙂
Gorgeous shot! The time change is tough to adjust to but oh so nice to have that extra daylight–definitely looking forward to it!!
one day later and it is all good. longer day light in the evening is pretty nice
A super shot – nice work with the colors – so fine and clear.
Beautiful juxtaposition of the nightime tree and the lights of the traffic.
how do you do that?? It’s awesome! teach me 🙂
thanks! i used pretty much the same process as I described in my HDR 101 tutorial.
I have to try it real soon, maybe after spring break!
Lovely shot. Wonderful Composition and framing.
Awesome Photo
DarkJade-
Spectacular! The tree and the lights (presumably with a low shutter-speed), both in one frame, amazing :).
Great picture of Seattle- two representative images!
Love the contrast! It gives a new look at city life.
