These were taken within a few minutes of each other … but with such different moods. Hart Lake is in the Upper Duckabush valley in the middle of the Olympic National Park.
Moon Over Mt Steel
Ocean Sunset
I don’t usually convert sunset photos to Black and White … since they are often photos that are “about” the colors. This one, however, had such interesting patterns and lines that I thought the color was distracting. (and, this isn’t likely to burn, either)
The location is Kalaloch on the beach of the Olympic National Park.
Solar Bar
I thought the streaking clouds were wonderful and then a solar bar showed up and made it even better. Taken in Olympia, Washington … and this is a sunset.
Crepuscular Rays (Going Up)
Here’s three shots of crepuscular rays when the rays are pointing upwards …
These were taken in Olympia, Washington in the summer during the evening.
Half Moon over Mt Steel at Sunset
The Marmot Lake area of the upper Duckabush valley (21.1 miles or 34 km on the Duckabush River Trail) in the Olympic National Park provides a dramatic view of Mt Steel. The distance to access the view keeps the casual tourist away.
