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.
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.
We are having some beautiful clear, warm (for January), winter weather. What a surprise. Our weather this time of year is either cloudy and raining, or clear and cold. It’s almost springlike… I’ll take it!
This is the south end of Budd Bay, the inlet of Puget Sound that comes down into downtown Olympia, Washington. There is pretty limited ship traffic down this far, but one of the few regular uses is for loading logs onto ships for export. The negative side of this is the stream of log trucks bringing loads of logs right through the middle of downtown. Between where I was standing and the log ship you can see the two tugboats that are stationed in Olympia when there is shipping traffic.
I took this a while ago and as I was reviewing my photos, was struck by the clouds in this image. You can see the change in the sky, reflected in the water. The dock in the mid-distance is the Coupeville-Port Townsend ferry dock.
