These were both taken in about the same location (within a block or so) … Water Street and downtown Port Townsend. Besides the difference between black and white and color, one view shows a nearly deserted street and the other a busy one. I liked the juxtaposition.
I thought this parade of people was humorous … everyone going in the same direction. For a while I had walked on that side, but it was like fighting upstream. This is Port Townsend waterfront and everyone was headed down to the Wooden Boat Festival or some other event.
In the photo above, please note the band of low cloud (fog) along the shore of Whidbey Island across Puget Sound from the Port Townsend waterfront. We had the fog earlier, but it had burned off hours ago. I was surprised there was still some left across the way. The snowy peak is Mt Baker, the northern most of the Cascade volcanoes.
Below the new walkway on the top of the new breakwater at Hudson Point Marina, a great spot to watch the ferry come and go.
This is a view of the beach just north of Kalaloch. I really liked the misty headlands in the background, and the beach walkers made it more interesting.
The Port Townsend Vineyard’s tasting room in right along the waterfront in downtown PT. Besides a very nice interior space, there is an excellent patio that is enjoyed year round (by those souls brave enough). When the sun comes out in the middle of winter, bundling up around a fire with a nice glass of wine is enjoyed by many.
