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.


This is a photo that shows that I like about the town I live in now. Port Townsend has a nice lighthouse, a ferry terminal and a rich history of maritime industries. Plus great views and lovely weather. All things that I enjoy and look forward to now that we are getting into springtime. Yay Spring!!!!

I took this one a couple years back … I took a series of them, actually. I never posted this one, thinking it was too similar to the one I did post. But as I was going through my archive, I was struck by this one. I love the way it connects the two mountains.
I took this from Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington with a Nikon D850 and a 300mm lens with a 2x multiplier. Exposure was f/8 at 1/25 sec and ISO 100.

These are both taken with telephoto lenses, so you get some of the foreshortening effect. The top image is from Dungeness Spit near Sequim, Washington. You can walk 8 miles along the spit out to the lighthouse there. You need to be aware of the tides, though, or you may end up walking on the driftwood … a lot more difficult going than walking the beach. The Point Wilson lighthouse is on the grounds of Fort Worden State Park, right at the point where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets Puget Sound.
