Foggy Lynnwood. One would think this happens early in the morning only. No, no, no. I took this picture when I was going to the gym this week, it must have been around 10 in the morning. Just in case you are not able to notice how foggy it is, try to look through it and spot the green traffic light.

This one goes to all the Grey's Anatomy fans. Seattle Grace does not exist! Well, it does...it's just not a hospital. This is the KOMO-TV building, which is an affiliated of ABC (network responsible for G'sA). The building is located at Fisher Plaza, which puts Seattle Grace strategically close to the Space Needle and the Monorail, two important landmarks. While the indoor scenes are shot in California, this is what you get in some of the exterior shots.

Fun Fact: in the pilot episode, when a helicopter is landing on what is supposed to be the hospital roof but is, in fact, that round area that you can see over there, you can actually see the KOMO 4 logo on the side of the building and the satellite dishes on the roof.
Sorry, this was supposed to be together with the other one...
Nothing to say...just wanted to show the Space Needle...

Seattle on a cold, rainy night - beautiful under any circumstance! This is the view from Kerry Park, probably my favorite spot in the city. Because it is on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill we are provided with an spectacular view of Downtown Seattle, Elliot Bay and the West Seattle peninsula. During the day we can even see Mount Rainier. There's a plaque on a wall here that says "Kerry Park [was] given to the City in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sperry Kerry, Sr., so that all who stop here may enjoy this view". It is indeed deeply soothing. Either night or day, there's no way one can regret coming here. I never get tired of it... So, if you ever come to Seattle, check it for yourself!

Fun Fact: the park appears in the very beginning of the film "10 Things I Hate About You", with Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.

So, the post you saw prior to this one was the first day of snow. It was nothing compared to the SECOND day. At this point I feel obliged to break my rule and post a picture where, not only do I appear, but I'm standing instead of sitting. Anyway, take a look at my street on Monday evening... It's a pity you can't see the color of the sky...it was a beautiful shade of violet. You guys have no idea of how much fun we had here with all the snow!!!


This one was taken a few hours earlier, Azulao (Bruna-movel) was not half as covered as it came to be later that evening.


After running around in the snow we decided to make a snowman, of course! Let me introduce you to Godofredo. Notice the cars behind him (I refuse to call Godofredo 'it'). Godofredo was biiiiig!!! Aaaaaannnnnnd...he was SITTING!!!
