After leaving Pike Place Market in Seattle, I turned and caught this scene of evening descending on the ancient, no-frills, but endlessly fascinating market place. I had a great afternoon in there, never more than a minute away from a truly superior cup of coffee. This photo shows just a tiny section of a main entrance, which is really an entrance to a bygone era.

Hello, Edwin....

Wow!!! Excellent posting. Your shot has a little of everything that I like in a photo. The background is a very cool sky with some great clouds reflecting the light from the impending sunset and creating some glorious pastels. The urban silhouette is something I rarely see, and the cherry on top of this shot are those lights from the cars and the neon lights from the market. This is a veritable smorgasbord of individual items that create an excellent composition.

You succeeded in catching the right light to ensure the "bygone era" atmosphere. I am very strongly reminded of quite a different place, New Orleans, and its view in "The Streetcar Named Desire" [both versions - the older and the later one]. Perhaps this is this wet looking pavement and street ...
Congratulations - stunning effect and unforgettable mood.

Beautiful photo masterfully presented. I been here years back. I think it's the market where they toss the fish around. Thanks for sharing and the memories.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I like the allure this picture presents and the hint of mystery, but think it misses a main focus!
