Space Needle and Chihuly!

So when you go to Seattle you got to go to the Space Needle! 

It definitely looks taller in the picture.  It is actually 605 feet high. 

To put that into perspective the US Bank Tower is 1,018 feet and that is an actual building.

 

Once you are up there, the views were pretty impressive. 

You can actually go outside on an observation deck.

 

I stuck out my arm and took a picture down.

Here is another picture from another direction.  Downtown is on the other side.

 

This is the same scene as the photo above... but zoomed in!

 

Right below the Space needle is the Chihuly Garden and Glass.

 

It is pretty neat that this is all hand blown glass.

 

This one is called Mille Fiori which is Italian for "Thousand Flowers"

 

It would be super cool just to have ONE of these chandeliers. 

I am not being greedy.  I just want ONE.

This one is pretty cool.

 

Here is "The Sun" up close.

 

And this guy is HUGE.

 

Keep in mind that this is all glass!

 

They have this cool greenhouse. 

Note on the top left, that is the restaurant for the Space Needle

 

And then it started to rain.  Again.

 

My camera has 30x zoom!
