Seattle's Golden Hour


Introduction:

As the sun began its descent over the picturesque city of Seattle, I found myself drawn to the idea of capturing the mesmerizing skyline over the water. Armed with my trusty drone, I set out for a memorable flight at the pier in downtown Seattle, eager to document the city's unique charm as it transitioned from day to night.



Setting the Scene:

The chosen location, the downtown pier, provided the perfect vantage point to witness the interplay of sunlight and shadows on the cityscape. With the waters of Puget Sound below and the iconic buildings of Seattle in the background, I prepared to launch my drone into the evening sky.



As the sun gracefully dips below the horizon, a drone's-eye view unveils the enchanting tapestry of downtown Seattle bathed in the warm glow of golden hour. Every skyscraper stands tall against the canvas of the sky, creating a captivating urban silhouette that echoes the city's vibrancy and elegance. A moment frozen in time, where the modern metropolis harmonizes with the ethereal beauty of dusk.
