USA Downtown Seattle from 12th Ave overpass at I90
This is a very popular spot for locals of downtown Seattle. Quite the opposite of a unique location, it is one that almost anyone driving through the Seattle area would pass, but it is right at an interchange and few travellers would think to stop there and shoot.
Photography Tips
This was my first time here and although I got a few shots I enjoyed, next time I would hike down a path adjacent to the freeway and attempt to get a lower perspective.
Best photographed during sunset and blue hour when you can capture not only colours in the sky but also trails of car lights heading to and from the city.
Any time of the year can yield great results. I like to shoot here during the fall the best as then you get additional colour from the tree foliage.
