Cecile and I enjoyed a gorgeous walk along Seattle’s harborfront, heading from Bell Harbor toward the Olympic Sculpture Park. Along the way, we passed a beautiful fountain crowned by a striking Olympiad-style nude statue—a powerful opening to a morning of art and city energy.
The walk gave us sweeping views of Elliott Bay, ferries drifting across the Sound, and the Space Needle rising proudly in the distance.
At the Olympic Sculpture Park—part of the Seattle Art Museum—we admired a landscape where art and nature merge seamlessly. Most memorable was Alexander Calder’s iconic red “Eagle”, its wings stretched wide against the Seattle sky. And just before arriving, I couldn’t resist a selfie beneath Roxy Paine’s monumental “Molecule”, a swirling tangle of red steel tubes soaring above like a frozen explosion of energy.
A perfect way to blend art, nature, and the rhythm of the city—all with Cecile by my side.
