Scenic in Seattle

The photographer: Mark Halverson of Fair Oaks

Behind the lens: Not all the scenic views at the Seattle Center are from atop the Space Needle. This shot was taken underneath two of the five Sonic Bloom sculptures that mark the entrance to the Pacific Science Center. The flowers not only change colors but also are equipped with hidden sensors that trigger a series of harmonic notes whenever movement in the immediate area is detected.
