Pictures from Seattle (56k beware)

I went on a two-day trip to Seattle this weekend. I took a few pictures (not very many because I wanted to enjoy myself). I also spent a ton of money. The one thing that pissed me off on this trip was the hotel bill. The room was ~180 per night, which is fine. I used my debit card instead of my credit card because I thought I had enough money on it. Well, they forgot to tell me that parking was $30 per day. At checkout, I found this out and it overdrew my debit card by $15-20 (if parking would have been reasonable, I would have been fine). I should have used a credit card, but who plans for such a steep parking price? Anyhow, overdrawing made it even more expensive ($40 fine). One other thing--all of the pictures I took in night mode are junk because I forgot to change the compression settings for that mode. The pictures have all been scaled down in Photoshop.

Hotel:


Most of the skyline pictures were taken from the top of the white pointy building (apparently, the first skyscraper in the city):

Those are impressive pics!

The staduim looks very open, and that builing witha thin base just looks odd.
