The photo is from an orchid hunting trip to the Olympic Peninsula with friends from Canada. The place is the city of Port Angeles and its harbor on the north end of the Peninsula.

Port Angeles lies on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula and is the gateway to Olympic National Park. The road to Hurricane Ridge starts in Port Angeles as does the road to Deer Park. Like wise the road to western side of the park runs through Port Angeles before traversing the north and west sides of the park. This photo was taken in Port Angeles near the harbor while on a trip to the national park last summer.

The town of Whittier is at the upper end of Prince William Sound and is the ferry port for Anchorage, which is about 90 miles north. Our trip ran into a number of scheduling difficulties and we ended up in Whittier with a whole day ahead of us while waiting for the train to Anchorage. We used the time to hike to Portage Pass and its views of Portage Lake and Glacier. This photo was taken near the beginning of that hike. The town of Whittier is a round the corner to the right and the cruise ship is not the ferry we took to Whittier but was docked in Whittier for some hours before going on to destinations unknown to us.

These are the Canadian Falls. The boat is the tour boat called "Maid of the Mist." Notice the tourists in yellow slickers just to the right of the falls.

These are the Canadian Falls viewed from the American side.

Photographed near Snoqualmie Pass in the North Cascades, a long way from the Elwha River after which this derelict boat was named.

Whitby was the place from which Cook sailed.

Bellingham Bay from Fairhaven Park.

Taken from English Bay Park in Vancouver. The sculpture is by a Frenchman, Bernar Venet, and is titled "217.5 Arcs x 13" but is popularly known as "The Whale Carcass." It was commissioned for the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale in 2005.
