Seattle

Next stop...yeap as the picture shows it would be Seattle. Having had the priveledge of travelling to quite a few parts of the US, this is one place that sort has a magical appeal to me for quite a few reasons (as trivial as they may sound).

First is the picture above, its a HDR shot taken by Surrealize which shows the city skyline and Mount Rainer. The picture is real and though there is some HDR merging to show the full detail which the human eye can see but a camera can't and he does it so well.

It's the birth place of Jimi Hendrix and where Nirvana was formed. So musically this city is quite revolutionary and its not limited to just this. There are large influences of music that stemmed from this city, just too many to mention.

Mount Rainier, of course. Another great picture by papalars.


Seattle somehow brings me back to my travels in Tasmania, it has the good mix of water, city and mountains. Not to mention the fact that is just a hop away to British Columbia, Canada. And with Hollywood's love for this place in shows like Sleepless in Seattle, Frasier and Grey's Anatomy. This would be a good second city stop. What do you guys think?

M still dreaming.
