Washington
Seattle is a nice place. It reminds me of my (kind of) hometown of Denver, Colorado... but with an ocean. I'd love to spend some more time there. I took this photo from Kerry Park while attending a show in the city. It's a popular lookout, and, with views like this, there's no wonder why. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).

Beautiful Afternoon in Seattle
Seattle is a nice place. It reminds me of my (kind of) hometown of Denver, Colorado... but with an ocean. I'd love to spend some more time there. I took this photo from Kerry Park while attending a show in the city. It's a popular lookout, and, with views like this, there's no wonder why. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
What defines “the Palouse” is rather difficult to nail down specifically, but in general terms it refers to the agricultural area of north central Idaho, southeastern Washington, and northeast Oregon. The region consists of rolling hills that are prime land for the growth of, at least primarily, wheat and legumes. The Palouse was my last stop during a whirlwind tour of the Pacific Northwest during the summer of 2018, and the weather couldn't have been better for this type of bucolic landscape shot. It reminds me quite a bit of that famous Windows XP wallpaper. Available in the following sizes (Panorama D): 40x10, 48x12, 64x16, 80x20, 96x24, 96x24 Triptych (3 x 32x24), 120x30, 120x30 Triptych (3 x 40x30), 144x36 Triptych (3 x 48x36), 168x42 Triptych (3 x 56x42), 192x48 Triptych (3 x 64x48), 216x54 Triptych (3 x 72x54), 240x60 Triptych (3 x 80x60).

The region consists of rolling hills that are prime land for the growth of, at least primarily, wheat and legumes. Perhaps the most photogenic spot to photograph the Palouse is from Steptoe Butte, which rises roughly 1,000 feet above the surrounding country in southeast Washington. I drove to the top of Steptoe Butte before sunrise one morning in the summer of 2018, with the intention of capturing more-or-less, this photo. I think it would be interesting to return to this location at different times of year in order to see how the surrounding landscape looks in different conditions. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Palouse Falls, in southeast Washington, is kind of in the middle of nowhere, and thus, it is a difficult waterfall to visit unless one happens to be passing through the area for some other reason. But at roughly 180 feet high, the falls are worth some kind of detour to see. I took this photo of Palouse Falls at sunset, near the end of a photo trip to the Pacific Northwest, in the summer of 2018. Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36), 80x40, 80x40 Triptych (3 x 27x40), 96x48, 96x48 Triptych (3 x 32x48).
I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Mount Rainier National Park during the summer of 2018. Rainier is roughly the same elevation as many mountains in my home state of Colorado, but because it stands there on its own, rather than as part of a particularly noticeable mountain range, it seems much larger. I took this photo from Sunrise (northeast of the mountain, itself), at sunrise, when the day's first light illuminated the glacially-covered mountain in beautiful, orange light. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
Mount Rainier, which lies just fifty or so miles from Seattle, Washington, rises so far above everything in the area that it should be visible for hundreds of miles in any direction. This isn't usually the case though, because of, you know, the rain and fog and clouds for which Washington is so famous. And even though it can be seen from many directions, some faces of the mountains are prettier than others, and Sunrise (the location, not the time of day), which lies northeast of the summit, is commonly considered the best place to view the mountain. Knowing this, I camped there one night, and rose early enough to do a short hike up an adjacent hill in order to take this photo shortly after sunrise, when the day's first light painted the mountain in spectacular shades of pink, orange, and yellow. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).

Mount Rainier National Park, just fifty or so miles from Seattle, Washington, is one of the state's most popular tourist destinations. Mount Rainier, itself, is massive, and only fairly serious climbers attempt to summit it. It's a technical climb, not a day hike. I'm not a technical climber, so I'm perfectly happy to wander around the base, chasing scenes like this one, where Edith Creek and Mount Rainier are both visible in one frame. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Although the highlight of Mount Rainier National Park has to be Mount Rainier, itself, it is by no means the only thing to check out during a visit to one of Washington State's most popular tourist destinations. Take Christine Falls, shown here, for instance. There are over 150 waterfalls in the National Park, but Christine Falls, which is a roadside stop (see the bridge at the top of the photo?), is one of the easier ones to reach and photograph. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.
Rialto Beach, which lies in northwest Washington, within the boundaries of Olympic National Park, is one of those rare beaches that has both a sandy beach which could work for swimming, and seastacks, which provide some visual interest not present in a white sand, blue sky beach photo. I shot this photo from an elevated position, after climbing a fairly-treacherous cliff as the sun was setting. By the time I'd reached the spot from which I wanted to shoot, the sun was already below the horizon, but I wasn't particularly bothered by this, because I had an idea that the sky would so what it frequently does after sunset on an evening free of clouds – form a beautiful gradient of blue to purple right at the horizon. The sky did exactly what I'd hoped it would, and I used a wide-angle lens to capture the vastness of the driftwood-strewn beach. Look carefully and you might find a tent among the driftwood! Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.

And as one can see in this photo, it did exactly as I'd predicted, and the result was spectacular!

Rialto Beach, which lies in northwest Washington, within the boundaries of Olympic National Park, is one of those rare beaches that has both a sandy beach which could work for swimming, and seastacks, which provide some visual interest not present in a white sand, blue sky beach photo. I shot this and several other photos of Rialto Beach and several of the more famous seastacks during a brief visit to the Pacific Northwest during the summer of 2018. The sun was setting as I took this photo, which explains the difference in colors of the left- and right-hand seastacks. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Washington's Olympic National Park has more diversity than many countries. Rainforest, beaches and mountains are just the beginning. My Pacific Northwest photo trip during the summer of 2018 allowed me only the briefest of time to spend in Olympic National Park, but I was able to visit the Rainforest Nature Trail and the Hall of Mosses, both of which allowed me to experience one of the only rainforests in the lower 48. Forests are notoriously difficult to photograph, because of the complex nature of the shapes therein, and the chaos of all the different directions many elements of the photo point. But somehow, I think this photo works. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.
