Follow the light. This is Crescent Lake in Olympic National Park. I stopped on my way to Sol Duc Falls to make this image. The sunrise that morning was early and amazing. #photography #landscapephotography #olympicnationalpark #olympicpeninsula #washingtonstateparks #sunrise #longexposure

When you visit Olympic National Park, make sure to include Cape Flattery in your plans. Not only are the sea stacks wonderful to see and photograph, the trail out there is also very nice. #photography #landscapephotography #olympicnationalpark #olympicpeninsula #washingtonstateparks

Cape Deception, World War II bunker doors.
Very rusty iron doors are falling apart at the entrance to a bunker at McKenzie Head, Cape Deception, Washington. The bunker was built into a hillside. The cement around the doorway is yellow with lichen. The doors themselves are large, heavy, with metal cross braces, and vents for fans at the top. The rust is so pervasive that the doors look as if theyd fall apart if touched. The tunnel entrance is dark and carpeted with debris and moss. The scene is derelict and sad.

#Horizontal lines dominate this photo of Cranberry Lake, a freshwater lake separated from the Pacific by a fragile dune system.
#Photography #BlueskyArtShow #Ecology #DeceptionPassSP #WashingtonStateParks
A scene of a placid lake with water lilies framed by pine trees. You can see the dune barrier that created the lake across the water. The sky overhead is blue with thin fog clouds. At one point, Cranberry Lake was a saltwater inlet. The retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet created a basin about 15,000 years ago, which filled with ocean water. Over time, sand dunes built up a divide between the lake and West Beach. Some saltwater still exists in the depths of the lake. Cranberry Lake got its name from its history as a cranberry bog used by settlers. The divide between the ocean and the lake is remarkably small. Looking towards the West, you can see that thin blue line of the ocean beyond the dune barrier. The lake is a favorite swimming and kayaking spot, the water being warmer (and much calmer!) than the Pacific.

Kona, taking a rest during our interpretive walk in Mount Spokane State Park, at the southern end of the Selkirks. He was tired from pulling me up some inclines (his choice - he loves/lives to pull).

Salish sea skyscape from last weekend's camping trip at Deception Pass. There was rain. There was sun. There was "wintery mix". It could have been much colder and wetter, so we'll file it under "Successful Trip".

Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, Washington

First visit to the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. The misty rain and fog provided atmosphere even without great waves.

#WashingtonState #WashingtonStateParks #artPhotography #photography #PNW #fineArtPhotography #Lighthouse #CapeDisappointmentStatePark
Horizontal color photo: The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse sits atop a rocky cliff at the edge of the ocean in Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington, State. The fog and mist soften and mute the lighthouse and the cliff in the upper right half of the image. In the foreground, more rocky cliffs extend down from the upper left of the image , with one running diagonally down and the straight across the middle of the frame. A wave breaks against this cliff, just left of center, sending watery spraying up and back.
