Vertical [Photo-Hunt]

A vertical metal sculpture at the Seattle Center in Washington.

The Rainier Tower along Fifth Avenue in Seattle--a 40-story skyscraper with an unusual design. It has a 121-foot (11-story) vertical base that tapers towards ground level, like an inverted pyramid.

    The sculpture is innovative, the building kinda scary looking -- don't think I'd want to be in it! :D

    The Rainier Tower is so cool! But I won't want to be inside it as I have experienced an earthquake while in a high-rise apartment.

    That Rainier Tower has always fascinated me. It's still standing, after all these years! :)

    I wish I had thought of this idea - using stratospheric structures.

    Have a great weekend. I envy you for trying out rock climbing :D

    Great photos. I've been in Seattle several times but don't remember the Rainier Tower--will look for it next time I'm in that part of the world.

    Fantastic vertical structures but I would be scared to go near the Rainier tower.
