I waited at the Viewpoint yesterday evening for the moon to clear the horizon. But it was nowhere to be seen. Too overcast. I left and came back a few hours later, but still no luck.

I decided to head to the opposite side of the Hill, to see what I could find there. I made my way around the cemetery, passing the old wall. By this time, it was after midnight.

I was struck by the beauty of the lights on Queen Anne.

I walked west, then south, towards Gage Academy. The view from just north of the Bishop's residence is always wonderful, especially at this time of year.

I walked further, to St. Mark's, where I took some shots of the Space Needle and the buildings that surround it.
