Gas Works - Lake View Point
Gas Works Park sits on the north shore of Lake Union, offering one of Seattle's most iconic cityscape views across the water toward South Lake Union and the downtown skyline beyond. The rusted industrial towers of the old gasification plant add a unique foreground element that separates this spot from any other city viewpoint. From the hilltop lawn, you get a wide, unobstructed panorama perfect for a wide-angle lens, while a longer focal length lets you compress the skyline and bring the Space Needle closer into the frame. Shoot facing south for the classic composition with the lake reflecting the city lights. Blue hour and the hour after sunset are peak times here, when the city illuminates and the water turns deep blue. The park is flat and accessible, and the grassy hill gives you slight elevation to clear any foreground clutter. (Seattle, Washington, United States)
