This totem pole sits in downtown Port Townsend outside the building complex that hosts the Northwest Maritime Center and the Wooden Boat Foundation. When the local native peoples have their canoe paddle down Puget Sound, this is one of their stops.
I was lucky that the rainbow stuck around until I could get to the beach. The clouds were great and a ship was encircled by the ‘bow. I’m not sure what caused the sunshine patterning to the right side of the ‘bow, but I liked that it showed up in the final image. This was a series of images that I assembled in Lightroom.
The Hawaiian Chieftain has it’s home port in Kamakahonu, but is in Port Townsend, available for day cruises. I thought it was a nice little boat, worth taking photos of. (no, I haven’t had a ride aboard)
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.
I think this little boat was tied up. Couldn’t really tell, since there wasn’t much wind or current. It looked lonely, though.
