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.

Warm, Sunny Weather
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.
Sunset in Port Townsend
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!
22 Degree Solar Halo
We were out at Finn River Farm (in Chimacum, Washington, about 10 miles south of Port Townsend) getting some dinner and were waiting outside. It was the first weekend in November and we were very lucky to get a sunny day. Even luckier was to be treated to this natural light show. The other folks that were around didn’t seem to have even noticed. This solar halo occurs when the sunlight is reflected by ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
Waiting for a Ferry — Watching a Sunset
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.
