Default Seattle Icon (Space Needle)
Located at the Seattle Center, it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet (184 m) high and 138 feet (42 m) wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons.

Nice. I like the first one because of the nice blue sky, but that second one is a powerful image.
