Ruins of the nearby Bogachiel, Hoh, and Queets rain forests (Washington state).

Someone really needs to clean-up all this debris. ;^)

Nice, ruins of what exactly?

[Heroique]

Thanks – ruins of the inland rain forests, left to bleach in the sun. Or nature’s dead-and-down ruins, once rising tall-and-mighty on the Olympic Peninsula.

Olympic NP rangers never clean-up these unsightly ruins. It’s quite frustrating. They just let the mess accumulate until it gets in everyone’s way. You should see the beaches after turbulent wind storms! It’s been a persistent problem since as long as I can remember, and it probably goes back much, much further. They keep telling me they haven’t the man power to keep the beaches perfectly free and clear – just one example why our National Parks need more funding. If they could do their job, Olympic NP would be one of my favorite places to visit. Until then, I’d rather be in the Cascades – or maybe explore the coasts of Oregon or Northern California. I hear the situation is better down there.

Wonderful image, reminds me of the Dungeness Spit when I lived in Sequim.

Wonderful image, reminds me of the Dungeness Spit when I lived in Sequim.

Thanks, I’ll be walking Dungeness Spit in a couple of weeks.

This time, I want to make it to the end at the lighthouse.

Maybe, just maybe, I’ll bring my Tachi for all the beach-strewn ruins...

My guess is that Heroique took that image on July 4th. It was bright and clear that day here on the north Olympic Peninsula, and the temperature in Port Townsend was 62-degrees. I wore some light-weight long johns to the beach that night to watch the fireworks. The weather forecast for this coming Sunday, by the way, is for clear skies and temperatures around 67. Life is good, and that's why I'm so glad I no longer have to endure summers in Northern Virginia!

Eddie took some pictures at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire. Foma 200 in D-76H. The weather had been crap all day and the rain had just about eased up by the time we got to Kenilworth. Next time you're here come back to the Midlands. You'll be safe, our cops don't carry!
Pete.
