Traveling with some black and white film gives me a different perspective then shooting digital color. The landscapes out west sometimes just look great at angles in black and white and detail and shadows just get drawn out more. The volcano was a lot taller but a lot of its top is gone since the eruption. Closer to the volcano you can see the difference in the landscape, no more tall trees but small plants and pumice stone areas.

A shot from Cape Flattery, which is the furthest north west in the continental United States there is. A nice long drive along the water and inside a Indian reservation. It was out of the way but worth it as the sun was dropping for our little hike out there.

Sol Doc Falls is in the Olympic National Park in Washington State. It has some nice scenery and these falls was gorgeous. There was a lot of shade and the sun light poured in right on the flowing water. The mist coming up was fogging up the filter ever so often but it was peaceful in away. The hike was nice but the mosquitoes and gnats will fly around your head about half the time.

Cannon Beach was something a lot of people probably picture when you mention Oregon Coast. It was wonderful but there were a lot of people in the area and I actually miss seeing the Washington coast and how wild that was. I guess we walked down the beach at low tied. What you can’t see is the houses and houses along the beach to my back, unlike a lot of northern Washington coast that are cliffs and some parts are part of Olympic National Park. This surfer was walking out of the water after a long ride.

The rain forest in Olympic National Park was really awesome. There was no rain and the sun was out but the ferns and moss were still dense in this part of the park. The trail “Hall of Mosses” was an easy walk and had lots of great vegetation but of course pretty busy and a lot of people. I took this looking up at the mosses draping over the maples.
