West Point Light
Contemplative
Nothing finer on a sunny Seattle day than admiring the beautiful Puget Sound.
Rocky Perch
It’s hard to get comfortable on the rocky beach near the point of Seattle’s Discovery Park, but the unique perspective it offers on the maritime nature of Seattle is worth it.

Hood Canal Redux
I would retire to this part of the world in a heartbeat. Nothing like it.
Homes on the Sound
In spring, some pastel pinks and blues are quite appropriate. This photograph is from my visit to Brendan’s normal stomping grounds, the shores of Puget Sound. The gentle summer sunset and the clusters of homes on the shoreline (and in the hills) made for a sight unlike anything I’d ever seen on the east coast.
Lincoln Park Beach
The characteristically rock beaches of Puget Sound are awesome if you like skipping stones.
Discovery Sunset
Another spectacular Seattle sunset over Puget Sound and the Olympics, this time from Magnolia’s Discovery Park. This made more spectacular by the fact that it was the dead of winter and the vista was only marred by some wispy clouds and just the lightest of hazes.
Northwest Sunset
Sunset over Puget Sound are always something special (assuming its not too overcast!), with views towards mountains and the silhouettes of small pleasure craft anchored just off shore.
Puget Sound and the Olympics
This view of the Olympics towering over Puget sound, from the community beach near where I grew up, always gets me. Just stunning.
Frozen Beach
It’s not everyday you decide to go to the beach and find that it’s covered in frost.
The Olympics (the mountains)
Snow peaked, and with a nice alpenglow, the Olympic mountains in the morning are one of the more spectacular sights to be seen from Seattle (behind, of course, the massive Mt. Rainier which looms over the city). On this unusually calm, clear (not to mention cold) morning I was able to grab this shot of Puget Sound in front of the Olympics, along with two Ferries making the Fauntleroy-Vashon run.
