Located in West Seattle, Alki Beach is one of most popular tourist spots in Seattle. It offers stunning views of the Seattle skyline across Elliot Bay. At night especially, with all of Downtown shimmering with lights, it is fantastic view.

The pretty famous Salty’s restaurant is located at this prime location and I cannot even imagine the cost of one of the waterfront apartments there!

The photograph below was shot during sunrise. You can see the Space Needle at the extreme left and the Columbia Center at the extreme right. The Columbia Center (formerly the Bank of America Tower) is the second most tallest building on the West Coast. This photo was shot using both a CPL Filter and a 10 stop ND Filter with an exposure of 390 sec!
