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).

22 Degree Solar Halo

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.
