Right outside city limits

Right when you leave Port Angeles city limits traveling west there’s a small pull over to the right of Hwy 101 just before you get to the first Olympic National Park entrance. This scenic view spot is pretty amazing, I stop at it every-single-time I leave town.

 

Cape Flattery

Man, what a drive that was from Port Angeles! It might have been better with company, maybe not 🙂 I headed out last week to the ends of the earth – Washington style; basically the most northwestern point in the lower United States. It was cloudy, raining and foggy the entire drive/hike out to the cape. Where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean makes for a beautiful sight to behold.

Salt Creek Recreation Area

I drove to Salt Creek tonight thinking i was going to get photos of pool tides. That might have to wait. Turns out I cannot carry a huge flashlight, a heavy tri-pod, and a camera while climbing over rocks lol I mean a simple back pack probably would have helped, but after seeing ice on the rocks along the path i was going to take I backed out.Oh well, Another day soon perhaps.

Lake Crescent Rainbow

This morning I had a photography job in Forks, Washington. As I was traveling from Port Angeles to Forks I witnessed the most beautiful drive to date. This was the first time I’ve been this far west since we’ve lived here and I finally got to drive past Lake Crescent. If it hadn’t been for the semi I was stuck behind and my need to pull off the road to text my clients, I would had completely missed the rainbow that appeared for a few minutes while I typed. Lake Crescent is so gorgeous and I cannot wait to spend some time there photographing it. Here are a few shots I got today.
