East of the Columbia River Valley in Washington State are many fine, old barns.

This is the backcountry of Olympic National Park five years ago. It’s one of my favorite coastal images and in the interest of having a collection of my favorites on display here I have decided to post it. Thanks for any comments.

And another tidbit, just an FYI for anyone planning to go here: These rocks are covered by either sand or the tide at almost all times, so if you miss them that is why! Try to go at low tides in Winter/Spring for the best opportunities.

The ‘Second Beach’ in Washington during sunset … I was waiting almost a week for this. 😉

A beautiful Fall evening at the Columbia River Gorge. The mighty Columbia River (fourth largest river by volumn in the United States) seperates the borders of Washington State and the State of Oregon. This image is taken from the Washigton side.

Kind of a snapshot which is quite unusual in comparison to my other photographs (so maybe I’ll delete that photograph later). Anyway, it’s a photograph I really like. I stayed almost a week at the wonderful ‘Second Beach’ in Washington. On one of the sunsets I was walking along the beach and met this couple. They’ve asked me to do a portrait with their smartphone which I gladly did. Then I walked back in direction of the forest to have an overview, stood there a longer time, looking at the scenery and decided to take this snapshot. And I’m glad I did. I guess this young couple was the happiest and the most loving couple which I’ve seen so far. A wonderful scenery. 😉

This was taken on my first night in the Pacific Northwest. We didn’t have any notable sunset, but the skies were clear and primed for some night shots. The wind was the only negative; the foreground flowers were waving around incessantly which made processing this shot quite painful.

A few shots focus stacked for the foreground and one shot for the sky about an hour later.

So I finally made it out to Kerry Park to shoot the Seattle skyline dressed and ready for battle. Seeing the city a blaze in green and blue and so many people sharing their love and support for our team really got me thinking. This isn’t expected and this isn’t normal. What we have is rare, these moments are fleeting and the opportunity that is knocking on our door is even more rare; a chance to do something that hasn’t been done in over a decade. We need to take a step back and really be grateful for this and for what it has done for our city and our community. We are proud, we are strong, we are 12!! GO HAWKS! Let’s bring this thing home, baby!!

This was the final night of my four day Larch rampage with Brian Kibbons last fall. I’d been wanting to get to this spot for several years now, but at just about every mention I made, he tried to…lets say “question”… my research on the level of epicness this little lake would offer. But I eventually managed to wrangle him over by mentioning there were supposed to be some Aspen groves on the road up to the trailhead (which kind of turned out to be shitty, but that’s beside the point).

So we hit the trail after having hiked something like 15 miles over the past two days (which, yeah, is really not that much), but this trail went straight. up. the damn mountain. Asses were kicked. Knees were inflamed. Shoulders were made sore. Backs were made sweaty. And while we could see some larch through windows in the forest here and there, not until we reached the high point of the hike – 3 miles and some 2400 feet of gain (2000 feet of which was in the first two miles) in – did we realized just how insane this basin is. There are some pretty nutty alpine Larch areas in Washington, but this might be second only to the Enchantments.

The down side was now finding a campsite. This whole basin is basically an enormous boulder field. Like small car sized boulders. Everywhere. We scouted for a good 45 minutes before we found the one campsite near the lake (and man is it nice), and then settled in, not expecting to get much in the way of sunset color since we were on the east side of this huge 2000-foot tall wall of peaks. But then clouds started rolling over right in time for the sun to start lighting them up, and we summarily reverted to our primate forms, hooting and hollering and air-fiving each other across the outlet stream at the shit that we just witness go down (the next morning was about as skunky as it gets, so it was quite nice to walk away from here with good color).

Layered sunrise color layers the view to Mt. Hood from Columbia Hills State Park, just across the Columbia River from Oregon in Washington. Balsamroots and lupines blanket the hillside in the last week of April.

This Bald Eagle was soaring high over the Nooksack River (seen in the background) on an early winter morning hunt for spawning salmon. The Nooksack River is located in the Mt Baker region in Northern Washington State near the Canadian border. This area is near the town of Deming, Washington and is believed to have the largest concentration of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states during the salmon runs.
