USA View from Space Needle, Seattle

This is the view from the famous Space Needle in Seattle towards the city with Mount Rainier in the background. You can walk around the observation deck with a 360 degree view over Seattle, which is decent, but probably only good if you are here during the right time. Apart from that it's definitely more a very touristic place and not that good for serious photographers, that usually want to have the Space Needle within their image as a well known landmark of the city.

In general it's pretty easy to photograph up there during the day, but it's probably a good choice to have a lens with you, that is not very wide angled, because the round part around the Space Needle might be in your frame otherwise.

It costs around 30$ to get up there and it depends very much on the time of the day on how long it will take to get to the observation deck. There are groups for every 30 minutes and you need to buy a ticket for a time slot. Especially during lunchtime the tower seems to be extremely crowded.

To get there, you can use the Monorail, which is just nearby.
