Queen Anne Light Show

It’s not every day that you see a park (street corner/empty lot) that’s lit up like a Las Vegas hotel pool.

The other night, while strolling with friends on Queen Anne, we passed this nighttime light show. For a moment, the illusion was perfect — note the folks in the background testing their acrobatic skills by doing headstands on the lit-up wall — and then we remembered it was just a sidewalk attraction.

But it’s a pretty one, and a neat way to beautify a city spot with a bit of glitz. When you consider the rainy season we’re about to (or have already entered), it’s nice to have some neon, some palm trees, and some beach chairs to remind you of summer and travelling to Las Vegas.
