On the ferry from Edmonds to Kingston,
looking across at the return ferry back to the mainland, with
Seattle and a faint Mt. Rainier in the background. |
|
Approaching the ferry port at Kingston,
with the snow-capped Olympics behind. |
|
|
In Poulsbo, settled largely by Norwegian immigrants. |
|
Where else could you get Lutefisk TV dinners? |
Port Gamble was a saw mill community,
settled by a large clan from Maine, and deliberately reminiscent
of a New England village. Here, water towers. |
|
Clapboard houses along the main street. |
|
|
The general store, exterior. |
|
Inside the general store. Arrayed around the mezzanine is a
rather extensive seashell collection. |
While the mill is gone, logs are still
collected here for shipping. |
|
A view from the Buena Vista cemetery,
pretty indeed. |
|
|
Another very New England-like view from the cemetery. |
|
A fine old house. |
Outbound from the ferry terminal at Kingston. |
|
Three views of "The Mountain": Rainier, with the Seattle
skyline in front.
(These pictures are "straight", with no
manipulation of the composition; the city and mountain just
happen to be in alignment as one leaves Kingston, with the
mountain about 75 miles away, and the city 15 miles away. Taken
hand-held with the EF 70-200/2.8L lens on a rather windy and
shaky deck.) |
