In the top image, I like the times when there is cloud cover and you can still see the Olympics. This is not the usual where the mountains are hidden by the clouds (as in the image below).
Ferry Terminal, Port Townsend, WA.
Seagull in the Sunset
This is the waterfront in Port Townsend, WA. and the dock running out in the middle distance is the ferry terminal. I liked the waves from a boat going by and the pattern they made in the water.
More Sky Lights: Sun and Moon
These are a couple of sky images that I took a while back. Both were taken from Olympia. The one above was pretty dramatic and I was stunned by the way no one else seemed to notice or pay attention.
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).

Seattle Sunsets
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.

Water Moods
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.
