High wispy clouds?  Check

Backlit leaves (or blooms, I’m not picky)?  Check

Art Deco architecture?  Check

I spent some time at Volunteer Park yesterday afternoon, before having dinner with friends.  It’s a favorite place of mine; I used to live nearby and walked up to it fairly frequently.  Now that I no longer live in the city I try to visit when I have the time, and yesterday was basically perfect.

If you’re ever in Seattle, check it out, and make the time to visit the Seattle Asian Art Museum while you’re there.

Gear: Nikon Z7 II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

Color photo. A cherry tree in bloom extends a branch over a gravel path. Green grass grows below the tree. The blue sky is full of wispy clouds. People are walking on the path towards the viewer, and a person is walking on the grass near the tree.
Color photo. A cherry tree in early bloom, the sky still visible around the flowers. The photo is taken from underneath the tree, and the blooms are backlit by the setting sun, which is barely visible over an intervening branch. The webwork of branches are dark, almost black.
