In the Summertime, the beach in Seaside is teeming with activity. Kids of all ages are playing on the swing-set, and gathering around the volleyball nets that are usually around this area. Yet, on a lonely Winter day, the surf continues to come in, the wind shapes the beach-grass into a new hairdo, and the [...]
Just take a look out from between the trees up on Terwilliger Blvd. There’s the Hawthorne Bridge and the Morrison Bridge out there, and the Convention Center in the background. But not much else is visible on a quiet Christmas afternoon looking out over the Willamette River. Photo: Taken from Terwilliger Blvd in Portland on [...]
The tide was extra high this night, and the storm was brewing over the city of Edmonds. Despite it all, the ferries keep running to get everyone safely to their homes. The sun is just setting, as if you could see it through all of those layers of clouds. The Washington State Ferries M/V Puyallup [...]
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to get to a secluded part of the beach. This stretch is about a mile down a steep trail in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge near Sequim. There’s nothing like the waves crashing on the beach, watching the birds go by, and dreaming of the sea along the [...]
The most obvious thing that I can say about this scene from the bay in Kingston, Washington is that the tide is out. It’s very out. The private boat dock with the boat next to it is about 200 feet from the edge of the water, with only the muddy ground in between. The seagulls [...]
It really wasn’t that long ago that we were enjoying sunny days that were a bit warmer than they are now. There’s always time to take a seat on the lawn and look out over Elliott Bay and just relax. The homes are near the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle, near the Elliott Bay Marina. (Or, [...]
It was a dark and stormy night, as the sun was setting over an autumn day. On this day, people were coming out to see the first big storm of the season, with its ominous looking clouds, coupled with an unusually high tide that sent the waves over the walls and railings into the walkways. [...]
I guess we have something of a sunset theme this week. Today, we have a photo of the Washington State Ferry M/V Puyallup arriving at Edmonds from the direction of the sunset. It’s almost if the ferry is giving off a sunny tail! I love how the sky blends into the water. Photo: Taken from [...]
Come on over. There’s plenty of room on the bench. The sun is about to set, and the view will be wonderful. There might even be a ship or two to watch sailing off into the sunset. That’s Whidbey Island over there in distance, and Puget Sound in the foreground. Photo: Taken at Olympic Beach [...]
This photo of the Seattle Center was taken from a viewpoint across Elliott Bay in West Seattle. The Space Needle is obvious, with the arches of the Pacific Science Center to the left. On the left side is the Seattle Center Coliseum (long since given a corporate name), with a distinctive shape that was built [...]
