Union Passenger Station in Tacoma, Washington

Union Station is distinctive because of its copper dome. This Tacoma landmark serves as the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. According to Wikipedia, Union Station is an example of Beaux-Arts architecture, “that combines awe-inspiring elegance with spatial efficiency.” In it’s windows is the “Monarch Window” display by glass artist Dave Chihuly. The seven block area surrounding Union Station makes up what is known as the Union Station Warehouse District.

This one is for my Mom, who fell in love with it’s architecture while we were walking by. I had a lot of fun taking advantage of the early sunset in winter and getting these colors to pop during blue hour.

Seattle at Night

For my birthday we ventured out to try a new 20mm lens and I think this turned out pretty well for my first try at a night cityscape! You can see the Space Needle, the Columbia Tower and further down out of the shot, Centurylink Field and Safeco! Every minute or so a plane flew overhead and of course the ferries were busy at work. The Seattle skyline is irresistible during both day and night.

Gig Harbor September Sunset

Caught a beautiful September sunset on Gig Harbor in Washington. Mount Rainier was out and could be clearly seen in the cold air. Fortunately there was enough cloud cover to catch the pink hues just before we lost the light. A perfect Pacific Northwest fall evening!

“In the waves of change we find our direction.” Couldn’t resist taking a shot of the endless waves of grass leading up to the beach in Ocean Shores, Washington.

Sol Duc Falls in Olympic National Park

After an easy hike to the falls the hardest part was getting this shot! The constant raining from the falls made keeping my camera dry an issue. Plus, I wish my tripod would have been six inches taller! An absolutely beautiful area that I hope to visit again.
