In the top image, I like the times when there is cloud cover and you can still see the Olympics. This is not the usual where the mountains are hidden by the clouds (as in the image below).
Ferry Terminal, Port Townsend, WA.
Seagull in the Sunset
This is the waterfront in Port Townsend, WA. and the dock running out in the middle distance is the ferry terminal. I liked the waves from a boat going by and the pattern they made in the water.
Ridge and Panorama
These are the last shots from my recent trip up to Deer Park in the Olympic National Park. In the panorama below, the three valleys (from left to right) are the Graywolf River, Cameron Creek and Grand Creek. Where they all run together is the Three Forks Shelter.
Trees, Mountains, Clouds
These shots were taken along the Slab Camp Trail out of Deer Park in the northern section of the Olympic National Park. Deer Park is in the subalpine area and is reached by an 8 mile drive on a steep, narrow, dusty road.
The Slab Camp Trail runs just at the upper edge of treeline for much of its upper end. You get these peeks out through the trees over to the peaks of the ridges along the Graywolf River.
Views of the Slab Camp Trail
The Slab Camp Trail runs from the subalpine meadows near Deer Park in the Olympic National Park down to Slab Camp on the Graywolf River in the Olympic National Forest. We just hiked the mile and a half from Deer Park to the park boundary, only dropping 600 feet of elevation. Once in a while we had some clearing and views, but most of the afternoon we were hiking with clouds blowing over the ridge, cutting our view down to the local environs. Just happy that it never rained.
