Winter Solstice at Pike Place Market
Posted By ben On 22 December 2006 @ 10:00 pm In photography | 2 Comments
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Seattle is the Pike Place Market. It a thriving public farmers market that first opened in 1907 and includes a variety of fish, cheese, vegetable and flower vendors plus an array of artisans including photographers and painters. Along the main brick street one can find delicious bakeries, the original Starbucks store, a wine merchant, several restaurants, and great gift shops.
And on the first afternoon of winter, I had a chance to see the market with the additional adornment of holiday lights. It was a fairly dark afternoon, with a terrific rain storm only an hour away, but for a while, it was simply elegant and charming.
