Life Magazine Seattle Photos Pt. 2

November 25th, 2008 @ 1:12 am by Cliffe | Sorted Photo Exposure |

Once again, I’ve really been enjoying Google LIFE photo archive. Here are a couple photos from Ralph Crane taken during the final stages of Space Needle construction. I was thinking how great it’d be if the Space Needle construction series I’ve been posting, was in color. Well, here we are. Life magazine ceased regular publication in 2000 but has shown up as a newspaper supplement in recent years. Click for higher-res.

   I agree. Took me a while to put my finger on it though.

   Very nice. And check out Mitt Romney’s dad in the upper-right-hand corner!

   Space Needle is still awesome, even after 40+ years!
