This vessel was originally a ferry, built in 1938 I believe, which saw service in Oregon. It is now a houseboat, floating around the Puget Sound. Here you see the Annabelle anchored in Penn Cove, Whidbey Island, Washington. (By the way,...it's for sale. You can just make out the little red "For...

East of the Sierras off Highway 395, California. Canon 5DSR. The Inyo Mountains by brian moore, on Flickr

This past Monday I attempted to drive to Artist's Point, a well known scenic area on the slopes leading toward Mount Baker, in the Northern Cascades Range. Didn't quite make it; the road to Artist's Point was closed for the season. (I subsequently learned it opens in July). I got as far as the...

Out and about yesterday and I passed this grove of trees in my car. Had to double-back to see if I could get any pictures. One of them was this. It makes me realize why good examples of "intentional camera movement" can be appealing. To be clear, I'm not calling this a good example of ICM. It...

The vanguard of a migrating flock heads south as dawn breaks over the Northern Cascades. Canon 5DSR. Early Risers by brian moore, on Flickr

Mt. Baker stands just under 11,000 feet and is a prominent feature in the skyline where I live. According to Wikipedia, it's "the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens." I was hoping to capture the "alpenglow" off the mountain so most of my images from...

Moccasin, Montana. (Canon 5DSR with Canon 24-105L)

Steamboat Rock, not far from the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State. It's almost an island, connected to the land upon which I am standing for this picture, by an isthmus at its southern end. The body of water in the foreground is called the Devil's Punch Bowl. There is a larger body of water...

As I mentioned in a previous post the sight of the Anaconda Smokestack from a distance caused me to detour toward the town of Anaconda, Montana. On the outskirts of the town I was lucky enough to witness this farmer preparing a hillside. I was even more lucky in that I was able to pull safely...

Fifteen or twenty miles east of Butte is the small town of Anaconda, Montana. It's about 8 or 9 miles from the main highway, the I-90, along which we were traveling on our way to Spokane. Looking to my left I spotted an enormous chimney. It was some 6 miles from the highway (I later learned) yet...

Moccasin, Montana. Population 23 (2020 Census).

Drove from Vancouver east to Calgary then south to Montana last week. Along the way, in Southern Alberta, passed through the town of Nanton, where I had to stop to get a few pictures of the grain elevators there. Alberta is plagued at the moment with many wildfires and I think this photo gives a...

A morning shot of the refinery at Anacortes, Washington. (Canon 5DSR with Canon 24-105L lens.)

The past couple of months the state of California was hit by a series of "atmospheric rivers." The effects on the landscape were quite astonishing. I took these shots three or four weeks ago on a drive from Washington State to Southern California. I've driven much of the length of California on...

It's oil field country in Kern County, just west of Bakersfield. (So technically I guess its the southern part of Central California).

This is Soda Lake Road at the southern entrance to the Carrizo Plain, near Maricopa, California.

It was the morning of July 31 to be exact. This is Dugualla Bay. The mountain on the horizon is Mount Baker, in the Northern Cascades. Canon 5DSR with Canon 24-105L.

This is a tiny section of Washington State Route 11, commonly known as Chuckanut Drive. "Chuckanut" is a Native American word meaning "long beach with narrow entrance" or something like that. Anyway, Chuckanut Drive winds along the slopes of the Chuckanut Mountains, which belong to the Cascades...
