The Seattle Art Museum is practically across the street from me. Technically, it's across the street and about half a block up (not even, really) from Harbor Steps.
This is the street in front of Harbor Steps. It reminds me alot of NYC. I took all these pictures on Sunday, March 2nd, with my new digital camera that I am still learning how to use. (Another one of my Amazon Friday Sale bargains, incidentally.)
This is a view of the courtyard in the middle of the 4 residential towers at Harbor Steps. As you can see, it's built on a very steep hill. You can't really see it in this picture, but surrounding the outdoor tables in the middle are shops and restaurants, on the ground floors of the residential buildings. Convenient! Immediately below the curved stone edging in the foreground is a waterfall that cascades down several levels, with the stairs wrapping around either side of it. At night, the waterfall is lit from behind, and the trees are lit up with white Christmas lights. It's enough to impress even a jaded sophisticate, such as myself. ;-) In the distance, you can just barely see Elliott Bay, behind Highway 99(which kind of reminds me of the West Side Highway, in NYC).
