Seattle Skyline

The 12th Avenue S bridge gives you an elevated vantage point directly over I-90, framing the full Seattle skyline in a way that feels both urban and dramatic. The highway lanes stretch out below you as strong leading lines pulling the eye toward the downtown towers, with the Space Needle visible to the left and Mount Rainier appearing on clear days as a backdrop. Shoot with a wide angle to capture the full sweep of the skyline and the converging lanes, or use a short telephoto to compress the buildings and mountain together. The golden hour before sunset lights up the west-facing facades beautifully, while blue hour gives you a clean balance between artificial city lights and the fading sky. The sidewalk runs the full length of the bridge, so you have room to shift your position and fine-tune your framing without obstruction. (Seattle, Washington, United States)
