Saint Helens

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.

Sol Doc Falls

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.
