This photograph captures the interior of a very familiar water tank in Volunteer Park, however a large majority of Seattle residents have perhaps never ventured to the top of the tower via the curved staircase. From the top floor, seen here, the visitor has a panoramic view of Capital Hill through the exterior windows. Here, the artist has focused upon the lines of the chain link fence that protects the actual water tank, creating a graceful shape that spans three photographs.
