Today was a perfect Seattle summer day, clear and warm (but not hot), so I walked to the Olympic Sculpture Park and took these photos. There are some really great pics worth checking out (I don't take credit for this...the camera did all the work).
The Olympic Sculpture Park was recently built by the Seattle Art Museum as a place to exhibit some of their large-scale sculptures. It's on a former industrial site on the waterfront in a residential neighborhood called Belltown, approximately 20 minutes on foot from our apartment.
The OSP has become one of my favorite places in Seattle. On clear days it offers spectacular views: west across Puget Sound to the Olympic Mountains, and south past downtown Seattle's skyscrapers to a looming, snow-covered Mount Rainier. The park also has lots of trees, green space, and beautiful wildflower meadows. Oh, and the sculptures are cool too.
The pictures tell the story better than I do; I've captioned each one to provide some context (view the slideshow and click on the big "i" to see these).
