Seattle Skyline — Photo 25 — Project 365

As we headed north into Washington, we pulled off the coast to visit friends in Seattle. This is the Seattle skyline from I-5. I’ve always thought of cityscapes are an interesting portrait of a city.

Californian Lighthouse — Photo 24 — Project 365

Further along the Pacific Coast Highway I came across a lighthouse, just before dusk. Perhaps it comes from my growing up far from the ocean, but I’ve always been fascinated with lighthouses and the lighthouse as a symbol in the way they stand as a sentinel and unmoved, regardless of the storm they brews around them.

A Drive in the Woods — Photo 23 — Project 365

The Pacific Coast Highway branches away from the edge of the ocean a little, particularly if you take a wrong turn! This is along CA-1, among the forests off the coast of California. But how can a picture capture the scene? It’s like trying to draw a dream…

Railways Spikes — Photo 20 — Project 365

There a railway that runs through town and some of the neatest things are just off the tracks. Here appear to be some repair supplies left at the side of the rails. I love the colour the few plants add to the scene.

The Provo Temple — Photo 19 — Project 365

The Provo Temple at night is beautiful when lit up at night, and even better from above. This was taken from Squaw Peak, just up Provo Canyon. This was also taken with my zoom lens - next time I’m taking my tripod to improve my odds of getting good night photos.
