Sleepless from Seattle

Here are some pictures from this last weekend in Seattle.  They were taken on an iPhone so they're not the best quality, but I like em.  I've returned home in a much heavier place than I left.  This time around the Emerald city threw me some curve balls, leaving me with more questions than it feels like I can handle. Seattle is a great town and I love almost everything  about its' coffee-indie-artsy-outdoorsy-urban personality, I'm just in a state of mourning because I left a piece of my heart up there, in the Northwest.

No matter what the future holds Seattle will forever be a place that has scarred my soul, left marker in my path, and for now taken from me something I hold dear.  Now that I'm back home in Dublin, I find my self sleepless from Seattle, tossing, turning, and re-thinking everything. 

I have a fascination with cities and their character.  Each city is wrapped in a personal history draping it with memories and emotions.  What cities signify some sort of meaning to you? What places will you never forget for either their positive or negative sentiment?
