This one circumnavigates the top of Queen Anne Hill. It is very residential and I try to find the side streets and stay on them. It is a wonderful Autumn day that puts a bit of the lie about it raining in Seattle all the time. The autumnal light is fantastic and golden and it shows off the neighborhood quite well. The leaves are still in the very early stages of turning so the best show of the season is yet to come. Enjoy!
