    Winner - Seattle Streetcar

    The Seattle Streetcar pulls into its last stop at Westlake Center where the driver will switch ends and head back North to Lake Union. An extra sunny day provided amazing light reflections off of the building to my right allowing the back side of the unit to be lit up.
