Best Night View of Seattle

This view from Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill is magical at night. We saw a news crew at the park taking some shots as well. Claudia, Sucad and I each took a photo with my EOS 10D mounted on the tripod. I set the aperture at f/16 and tried an 11 second exposure. Claudia then tried a 12 second exposure. Both were a bit too dark, so Sucad took this one with a 25 second exposure which turned out the best.

Here's what the view looked like in 1936.
