This was taken from Marrowstone Island, SE of Port Townsend, Washington. In the foreground is Nodule Point and the water is Puget Sound.
Taken with a Nikon 80-400mm zoom set at 400mm, f11 and 3/4 second exposure.

Double Rainbow
After a day of hiking in the rain to Sol Duc Falls (see post here), we got back to Marrowstone Island just in time for a great view of a double rainbow. This was taken with the wide angle lens on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The water is Puget Sound and Marrowstone is southeast of Port Townsend, Washington.
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.
Cedar Beach Chairs
The chairs provide a pleasant view from Marrowstone Island across Puget Sound to Whidbey Island and from Mount Baker in the north to Mount Rainier in the south. They are a lot more inviting when the sun is warm.
Sunset Views
These shots were taken within a minute or two of each other, the difference being the direction into or away from the sun. Above shows some of the old Fort Flagler buildings (still being used for retreats and other meetings). Below shows the peaks of the central Cascades above Puget Sound, with the years first snow reflecting the pink of the sunset.
