I took the monorail from the station at the Space Needle near my hotel down into the city.
Walking around the Pikes Place Market area. The OG Starbucks is here.
A few Boeing 737 jet bodies rolled through Union Station while I was waiting for the light rail out to the airport.
Steph and I explored the Powerhouse Museum and Australian National Maritime Museum over the last week. My poor little camera doesn’t have a wide enough aperture to get good photos in dark situations. As a result, there weren’t very many photos at either museum. But I did get a few. This photo is of a steam engine that’s getting close to 200 years old.
The first helicopter to fly around the world.
One of the (if not still the) fastest boats in the world. It was built in a guy’s backyard on a shoestring budget as a hobby.
From an annual beer can regatta contest. Yes, this was the winner for speed.
The museum fleet. It was too nasty of a day to board the vessels so I will have to go back another day to check them out.
The monorail crosses a swing bridge. This contraption allows the bridge to swing open and closed with the monorail track on top. I doubt they open it very often anymore but it is doable.
Come see a crocodile!
Monorail on the move.
Bye bye monorail.
