Seattle Sunsets

Seattle Sunset … The Brothers

I think that Seattle has some of the best sunsets available for photographers. There’s the skyline of the Olympic Mountains with the foreground of the waters of Puget Sound. It can be spectacular. In the image above you see The Brothers … the double-peaked mountain in the middle of the image. It is named after the early settlers Arthur and Edward Fauntleroy. (the south peak … on the left here) is Edward and the north is Arthur. My brother and I attempted to climb The Brothers a couple of times, but both times got stopped part way up when coming face to face with a 8 foot vertical wall of snow blocking a gully.

Below shows the view of the northeastern Olympics. The peak just left of center is Mt Jupiter and to the right of that is the Mt Constance and the Buckhorns and other peaks.

Seattle Sunset … The Northeast Olympics

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).

Water Moods

Beach Water

These images of water all have very different moods to them. The one above is taken from Fort Worden in Port Townsend, the middle one is the Port Townsend waterfront and the bottom one is small tributary of the Dosewallips River (Phantom Creek), near the small town of Brinnon. They were all taken on Portra 400 using a Nikon F6.

Double Rainbow

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.

Seattle with Clouds from the Ferry

Seattle with Clouds from the Ferry

This photo was taken from the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island. I used my Pentax 645N film camera and Kodak Portra 400 color print film. Yes, I’m still shooting on film some … although most of my photography is digital. I was pretty amazed with the cloud pattern. It was even better in real life.

Waiting for a Ferry — Watching a Sunset

Edmonds Ferry Terminal

Recently was taking the Edmonds ferry over to Kingston (Washington) to get home after visiting friends in the Seattle area. One of those times when we just missed getting on a ferry and had to wait (only little over 1/2 hour). The advantage was that we were waiting on the dock instead of back in the holding area. This let me walk around, enjoy the pleasant evening and take some photos of the sunset. The individual that is silhouetted standing on the top of the ramp was a ferry worker and I was unable to access that spot, but they provided a nice human interest touch to the image.

Both images taken with a Pentax 645N on Portra 400 color film.
