Fall Colors at Fort Worden

Fall Colors at Fort Worden (1)

Fort Worden is just north of downtown Port Townsend, Washington. I go there frequently to get some exercise and to enjoy the views. The big leaf maples are very colorful in the park this year. Other areas seem to have suffered from dry weather, but the park sits next to salt water and get moist weather more often. Below is detail.

This image was hard for me to get used to. It was shot with a film camera (a Nikon S3 rangefinder) and I had mistakenly loaded a roll of black and white film when I had intended to load color. Imagine my surprise when it came back from the lab. I don’t know for sure if I would have liked it better in color, but it certainly isn’t the way I visualized it.
