Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It was cold and wintery day for a trip to anywhere, but the view from one of our ferries can make it all worthwhile. The Cascade Mountains were peeking through the clouds and the early morning sun displayed a range of color from a beautiful blue to a soft and lovely magenta.
Whenever I board the ferry, I’m always hoping for leaping orcas, humpbacks, or dolphins, but there was no whining from me on this trip…and that in itself is remarkable!
This was taken at the Storm King boat ramp at sunrise.
This shot was taken with my cell phone, hanging out my car door as the Bainbridge island ferry was approaching the Seattle dock. You can see the Smith Tower, which used to be the tallest building in Seattle, in the glorious sunrise.
This Baldy got an early start hunting and reaped the ire of three gulls that chased and dive bombed him incessantly. This was at Sunrise near Protection Island next to Sequim.
It didn’t snow in the Olympics until very late October this year. I always look forward to seeing the mountaintops change each year.
This photo was not altered at all. I woke up just before sunrise. I went to my garage mostly in the dark. When I came out I saw this. I ran into the house to get my camera the light was changing by the second. The reflection on the bay was outrageous.
Within seconds it looked like this… Then POOF the sun went behind a cloud and was gone.
