These are a couple of sky images that I took a while back. Both were taken from Olympia. The one above was pretty dramatic and I was stunned by the way no one else seemed to notice or pay attention.
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).

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.

I was downtown and walked out onto the public dock that gives a nice view of what’s going on with the weather and saw the sun hitting the ferry dock. Another day, but the same location, I saw this nice collection of bull kelp.
Yeah, this doesn’t look like the Pacific Northwest, does it? Again, I was going through my past trip images and this one just made the day here in Port Townsend feel cold and damp. Hmmm. Maybe that’s because it IS cold and damp.
We are having some beautiful clear, warm (for January), winter weather. What a surprise. Our weather this time of year is either cloudy and raining, or clear and cold. It’s almost springlike… I’ll take it!
