@stephomy At first, I was thinking, "Sure, bird's eye view is easy for you. You live near the Space Needle." Then, I realized that I didn't need to fly that high.
I liked this still life or day in the life type photo so much that I didn't notice the snake! Now that I've read your narrative - it is a good Birds Eye View.
True I do have the Space Needle... but they charge too much to go up there... though I do also have a lot of tall buildings that would suffice.
