Seattle Sunsets

Seattle Sunset … The Brothers

I think that Seattle has some of the best sunsets available for photographers. There’s the skyline of the Olympic Mountains with the foreground of the waters of Puget Sound. It can be spectacular. In the image above you see The Brothers … the double-peaked mountain in the middle of the image. It is named after the early settlers Arthur and Edward Fauntleroy. (the south peak … on the left here) is Edward and the north is Arthur. My brother and I attempted to climb The Brothers a couple of times, but both times got stopped part way up when coming face to face with a 8 foot vertical wall of snow blocking a gully.

Below shows the view of the northeastern Olympics. The peak just left of center is Mt Jupiter and to the right of that is the Mt Constance and the Buckhorns and other peaks.

Seattle Sunset … The Northeast Olympics

I have a book available on the Kindle site. It is a memoir titled 60 Years of Hiking in the Olympics. It has over 100 photographs and covers more than 100 different hikes and backpacks. I have it priced to share at $2.99 (US).

Water Moods

Beach Water

These images of water all have very different moods to them. The one above is taken from Fort Worden in Port Townsend, the middle one is the Port Townsend waterfront and the bottom one is small tributary of the Dosewallips River (Phantom Creek), near the small town of Brinnon. They were all taken on Portra 400 using a Nikon F6.

It all depends on which way you look…

Looking NE towards Mt Baker

I thought these photos were all interesting … even without the fact that they were all taken from about the same spot. (not on the same day) They are all taken from Marrowstone Island, which is just southeast of Port Townsend, WA. The body of water is Puget Sound. I like the variation in mood between these. I especially like the stormy weather shot just below that has the grass blowing into a blur.

I should add that these are all shot on film. The black and white on Tri-X and the color on Portra 400. The black and whites were shot using a Nikon F100 and the color using a Nikon F75.

Nice Weather View

Two Boats and a Lighthouse

This is a photo that shows that I like about the town I live in now. Port Townsend has a nice lighthouse, a ferry terminal and a rich history of maritime industries. Plus great views and lovely weather. All things that I enjoy and look forward to now that we are getting into springtime. Yay Spring!!!!
