These shore pines are contorted by the near constant wind along the Pacific beaches of the Olympic National Park. Easy to tell which way the wind blows.
Contorted Shore Pines
Winter Beach Goers
If you have nice weather in the winter, the beach is a great choice for a walk… if you can’t get to the mountains. At least that is my choice. This is Kalaloch … one of the Olympic National Park beaches.
Beach Walk
This is looking north along the beach from the Kalaloch Lodge property in Olympic National Park. It’s a very popular spot, year round. I love to go and walk the beach and listen to the waves rolling in.
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.
Shore Pine
These are shore pine that are growing just south of Kalaloch along a section of the Olympic National Park beach.
