Like
a lady
dressed to the nines,
tiara-ed in silver,
high on heels,
drunk
on the rise
in their narrow world,
windows,
glass glistening
white
in the sun, they stand
at the skyline.
Unaware,
that
the sky,
the clouds,
the land
and minds
are richer
for the
colors of warmth
in a neighborly smile,
colors of shades
of green
on a hot day,
house windows
brushing aside branches
tickling them,
and
so many
black and brown
roofs
on white
picket fence houses
of unique
shapes and sizes
that make this world
a
wonderful
colorful place......
When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other. ~ Alan Alda

These are great. I love that bottom one, Sylvia. The silver in the light is just gorgeous.
wonderful combination of wisdom and beauty indeed!
Isn't it magic when the mountains do that, Sylvia? Mount Baker can be seen from my home town (White Rock, BC) when the sky isn't completely clouded over. As the clouds begin to clear, suddenly there's a mountain rising out from amongst them. Wondrous!
Sandy is right -- Seattle does look lovely in the silvery light.
I also love your quotations, especially the one from Alan Alda, one of my favorite actors.

Your photos of the mountain and city are marvelous. I also like the wisdom you shared.
Thank you.

That view of Seattle is Magnificent. Love it. Great photos my friend. Have a great Thursday :)
The last one !

I just love that last picture of the skyline.
You have such generous readers posting such nice poetry and headers for you.
Have a great Day!
lovely phrases to match the lovely shots :)
Oh my Sylvia, is that a mountain rising up above the city beyond the bay. Stunning. I love the last quote! Have a wonderful day. My weekend starts tonight. Blessings Jo
I love the mountain in the background of the top pic. Awesome!
I like the last picture with the tall buildings. It looks so mysterious.
Oh so lovely. The last picture is awe-inspiring.
