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 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.
These were both taken recently… the above is one of those trees that holds onto their leaves until spring. Just to make sure that there is raking year round, I guess.
Regular readers will have noted that I often have images of misty mountain ridges. And yes, I really like the mystery of watching clouds move through the forested ridges that are so common in the Olympic Mountains. So, I hope you enjoy this one, it’s a nice one that shows the misty mood pretty well.
This is a view of Mt Olympus from the High Divide, which runs across the Hoh River Valley from Olympus on the north side. The High Divide is one of the most popular hikes in the Olympic National Park … with views like this, there’s a good reason for it. (Reservations are required and are hard to get.)
