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!!!!
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.
This photo was taken from the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island. I used my Pentax 645N film camera and Kodak Portra 400 color print film. Yes, I’m still shooting on film some … although most of my photography is digital. I was pretty amazed with the cloud pattern. It was even better in real life.
Recently was taking the Edmonds ferry over to Kingston (Washington) to get home after visiting friends in the Seattle area. One of those times when we just missed getting on a ferry and had to wait (only little over 1/2 hour). The advantage was that we were waiting on the dock instead of back in the holding area. This let me walk around, enjoy the pleasant evening and take some photos of the sunset. The individual that is silhouetted standing on the top of the ramp was a ferry worker and I was unable to access that spot, but they provided a nice human interest touch to the image.
Both images taken with a Pentax 645N on Portra 400 color film.
You can drive to the summit of Mt Walker (4 miles of gravel road after leaving the highway a few mile south of Quilcene WA). The view is different by the minute as the weather changes … in this case the clouds added to the drama. The brownish area in the foreground is the Bangor Naval Base … the water areas are both Puget Sound.
