Very wide-angle lenses are usually used for distance shots. I liked the effect of using it on clover that was close by. There is obvious distortion on the sides and corners, but all those converging lines draw your attention in to the clover.

Sunny Day at the Beach
A couple more photos from my day at Kalaloch in the Olympic National Park. Being the section of coast that abuts the rain forest valleys of the park, it is fairly rare to get a sunny day outside of peak summer.
Drowned Fence
Some additional shots of the marshy area near the lighthouse at Marrowstone Point at Fort Flagler State Park southeast of Port Townsend. I don’t know how long it has been since the fencing has actually performed a ‘fence function’, but it seems to have been a considerable time. The water in the background is Puget Sound, the land across the way is Whidbey Island.
Reflections
I was walking around Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island (just SE of Port Townsend, WA) and it was awfully wet. The area is close to sea level, just off the beach, and at the base of a bluff. I think the water that pools up just sits on top of the brackish groundwater. I liked the reflections it provided.
Spigot Patina
Another in my collection of antique plumbing fixtures. This was at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend. I am sure the water is disconnected … well, sorta sure. But I like the patina, anyway.
