Same peak, zoomed 40x.

People hanging out, snapped from 520' above. This Olympus C-765 would make a cool spy cam.

On the ground, the Seattle Center area is a park filled with art displays and bizarre architecture.

Very cool architecture at UW, called "U-Dub" by the locals. I guess "U-double-U" does sound a little dumb.

Red Square, named for its millions of red bricks, is the central plaza of UW, and affords a great view of Mount Rainier to the southwest.

Nice touch, putting the small slots in the columns.
