This first one is of the courtyard near the Federal Building. Believe it or not, it was made out of the remains of the Burke Building, which used to stand in that spot.

In the same general area, we happened to spot this halo around one of the skyscrapers:
Image credit: Cujo359Believe it or not, that's a panorama of two different photos. I'm amazed it came out so well.
That's all I had time to do this week. Hopefully, I'll have the rest done in the next couple of weeks. As always, click on the images to enlarge. Have a good Sunday.

impressive halo cujo
oh crap, hit the button too soon... was gonna add that the photographs were just as impressive
Nice pictures. I always thought of libraries as being warm and inviting and not some building that looks as if it would shatter with a single sneeze. Of course, that gives more validity to being quiet in the library, but it would make me think twice about entering!
Thanks, Suzanne.
Small libraries and local branches often fit that description, Anonymous. Bigger urban center libraries have often been more imposing, though. There does seem to be a trend to stamp out those friendly branches wherever they are though, if King County's recent efforts are any indication.
