While owning a boat for 20 years and cruising Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, my hubby and I had the pleasure of stopping in Pt. Townsend and spending a few days at the Pt. Hudson Marina.
Whenever we visited, we spent our time either walking through town and shopping (!), visiting with fellow boaters, or at beautiful Chetzemoka Park. Only rarely did we trek as far as Fort Worden and Pt. Wilson Light.
But, after meeting several of our other local photographers and discovering the hidden beauty of the battery outposts, did I learn to appreciate it, and Sequim’s proximity to it.
Now, I find pleasure in visiting often, exploring its dungeon-like atmosphere, as well as the colorful graffiti, and capturing it with my camera.
And in this particular image, I superimposed two photos; one of the trees, to reflect the beauty of its natural surroundings, and one the interior gritty, and taletelling walls of the battery, to create an abstract that has truly become one of my favorites.
