Farmers market

Farmers Market                                                                Seattle, Washington, USA, 2009

We spent a weekend in Seattle, catching the 7.30 bus from Vancouver after I finished work at 7am.  We camped in the Green Tortoise hostel, spent loads of time in the Public and Farmers markets, dranks loads of coffee from the first ever Starbucks, investigated the city's underground past, visited a building that at 40 stories was once the tallest in the world and saw a baseball game. 

It was one busy weekend, but at the same time one of the best weekends away I think I've ever had.  I still want to spend more time there - it seems like a city full of culture, it has a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere and some awesome markets.

 During my 6 month stay in Vancouver we visited Granville Island relatively frequently.  It has one of the most amazing public markets I've been to.  It has one hell of a choice of fresh fruit, vegies, meat, seafood, small goods and exotic foods like stuffed olives and cheeses.

I shot this photo on one of those trips and have loved since seeing it on the LCD screen of my new (at the time) DSLR.
