Both that and the Columbia are referred to as the "Darth Vader" buildig. To make a distinction, I refer to that as Darth Vader's head, and the Columbia tower as Darth Vader's body.

They were also both built by Martin Selig.

The blue cornice panels are going up on Olive 8 today. They look kinda cool.

Yea, the skyline is definitely a "suits" skyline. We need some

Aleks · #**1805** Posted **Aug 26, 2008, 8:16 PM**

Does anyone have any pictures of the panels? Maybe I'll go downtown later and take some pics.

Yeah, somebody take pics. If these things are really blue, I'll throw a party!

Hoodrat · #**1807** Posted **Aug 27, 2008, 1:47 AM**

I wanna see too! Pics, anyone?

Aleks · #**1808** Posted **Aug 27, 2008, 2:18 AM**

Awee gees. I just had the opportunity to go downtown and I forgot I wanted to take some pics. I'm going downtown tomorrow for sure and I'll take the 10 down from Capitol Hill so I can get some shots.

Seriously, folks - the fins are BLUE. This is a pic I took on Saturday morning.

Aleks · #**1810** Posted **Aug 27, 2008, 6:48 AM**

Wow, thank you. You owe us a party Bond.

What building is that on the left side of the picture?

James Bond Agent 007 · #**1811** Posted **Aug 28, 2008, 1:16 AM**

Hopefully that'll distract people enough so that they don't look at the rest of the building.

West 8th looks monolithic. I will hopefully be taking photos from that area this weekend if I get a new camera!

It is a decent size building for sure. Can you imagine that was the block of Capitol Music?

What kind of camera are you planning to get?

10.1MP Exilim probably. Something cheap and really tiny.

NW Mike · #**1817** Posted **Aug 30, 2008, 3:53 PM**

10.1 Casio Exilim, Thats what I got. Its a Bad ass little thing.
I love my little camera. Its done me good. Here is a sample of around Seattle, taken in the last few weeks. Except for the west Seattle view which was before 1521.

Hoodrat · #**1818** Posted **Aug 31, 2008, 3:24 PM**

cool pix...thanx, mike!

mSeattle · #**1819** Posted **Aug 31, 2008, 6:07 PM**

Looks like it takes real nice pictures. Sunny days help too.

Of course you as operator are the real reason why the pictures are nice.

alexjon · #**1820** Posted **Sep 1, 2008, 4:51 AM**

I got a Samsung L200 instead... $150 at Freddy's, oh man!
