Washington State, USA:  Second Beach (near La Push) and Mt Walker Viewpoint (near Hood Canal). 3rd to 4th November 2018. (Trip summary and links to posts).

Equivalent colour posts with more images and more information are Second Beach and La Push to Portland.

These images are tritones which means three different colours are assigned to highlights and shadows. The colours can be markedly different or subtly different. I started with a duotone and then assigned another colour to extreme highlights (usually) or extreme shadows.  The images can be very different as they are individually processed.

A wild sea in the morning, near where I was staying in La Push.

Probably  a juvenile glaucous-winged gull, standing on my balcony rail.

We are now at Second Beach.  I don’t know the name of the island.

Second Beach is just south of First Beach and La Push.  Just a couple of minutes drive and an easy walk of five or six hundred metres.

Part of the Quilleute Needles.

Very flat-topped stack.  Maybe a good place to pitch a tent.  Getting up there with the tent may be an issue.  Staying up there in a storm even more so.

A rock on the beach, maybe an island at high tide.

I encountered local photographer Jim Wood and his grandson and his friend. That’s his grandson on top of the rock.

Logs on the beach.

A pile of driftwood and logs at the north end of the beach.

It might have looked like rope from nets in the previous image, but it’s seaweed amongst the logs.

Back at La Push now.

Birds in the sky and the island between James Island and Little James Island – Very Little James Island perhaps?

The north end of First Beach, La Push.

A juvenile Herring Gull.

Mountain view at Mt Walker Viewpoint.

I am now now heading south beside Dabob Bay, about thirty or forty kilometres west of Seattle (19 to 25 miles), on my way back to Portland.

Definitely logging clearfell rather than farm land.

.

Imperious snow-covered peaks, perhaps Mt Deception and Mt Mystery.

Mountain trees and clouds.

Seattle gleaming in the distance.

Patterns on the water.
