The day began bright and clear, the kind of winter light that makes everything sharp and calm. We drove toward Seattle with the skyline slowly rising ahead, glass and steel catching the sun as the streets narrowed into the heart of the city.

Pike Place Market was alive with its familiar rhythm. Old wooden storefronts and neon signs stood like markers of time, while the scent of coffee drifted through the crowd. Vendors called out, voices mingling with the hum of conversation, and for a moment it felt like the city was speaking in its own language.

From the Overlook Walk, the view opened wide. The waterfront stretched below, ferries tracing slow lines across the bay, and behind it all the skyline stood still against the pale sky. The skyline panorama frames capture the city in one continuous sweep, holding its full breadth in a single image.

On the way back, the Space Needle appeared again, sudden and familiar against the clear blue. One last glance, one last photo, and the day folded into the drive home: simple, bright, and easy to remember.
