Downtown Seattle

I recently made a quick trip to Seattle/western Washington.  All of the iconic/popular spots for photography were hit during the trip, including Kerry Park, Rizal Park, and the shoreline of West Seattle.  A waterspout occurred earlier in the day over Pudget Sound, and prompted the weather service office in Seattle to issue a tornado warning, the first in 17 years.  While shooting from Kerry Park, a legit supercell with obvious updraft rotation moved across downtown Seattle.  The storm put on a great lightning display as well.  I tried my best to capture lightning in the background of the skyline, but nature axed that idea.  It was a still a cool experience nonetheless.
