This was taken from Marrowstone Island, SE of Port Townsend, Washington. In the foreground is Nodule Point and the water is Puget Sound.
Taken with a Nikon 80-400mm zoom set at 400mm, f11 and 3/4 second exposure.
Mt Rainier in the Sunrise
Double Rainbow
After a day of hiking in the rain to Sol Duc Falls (see post here), we got back to Marrowstone Island just in time for a great view of a double rainbow. This was taken with the wide angle lens on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The water is Puget Sound and Marrowstone is southeast of Port Townsend, Washington.
Drowned Fence
Some additional shots of the marshy area near the lighthouse at Marrowstone Point at Fort Flagler State Park southeast of Port Townsend. I don’t know how long it has been since the fencing has actually performed a ‘fence function’, but it seems to have been a considerable time. The water in the background is Puget Sound, the land across the way is Whidbey Island.
Port Townsend Bay and Point Hudson
The town center of Port Townsend is around the point of land coming into the water from the right. That is Point Hudson and just around the corner is one of the big marinas. In the distance is Marrowstone Island and Indian Island, while the buildings are mostly housing left from the days when Fort Worden was active. It’s now a state park and some of the housing is available for short term rental. It was also the location for filming some of “An Officer and A Gentleman”.
I liked the grass greening up as spring approached.
Looking East and West at Sunset
These were taken less than 10 minutes apart … from Marrowstone I have to cross Indian Island to get home in Port Townsend. The top photo is looking pretty much southeast … Mt Rainer lies just to the left of the closest point. Below looks southwest to the Mt Constance – Buckhorn group of peaks … the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains. Taken with my 70-300mm zoom on my Nikon D850: the top photo at 70mm and the bottom at 300mm.
