[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just returned from a week-long trip east of Washington's Cascade Mountains, on the "dry side"? of the state.? I "took a vow" of black and white for this trip, bringing my Leica M Monochrom and 35, 50 and 90mm lenses.? I used a yellow filter a lot. This turn-of-the-20th century courthouse is in Waterville, the Douglas County seat. This combination of light and clouds lasted only a few seconds. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/41418312504/in/dateposted-public/> This public phone in the above courthouse's lobby is either a replica or an old casing with modern electronics inside. Regardless, it fits. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40331678690/in/dateposted-public/> Lake Chelan is a fjord-like lake, 55 miles (88 km) long, which begins in the dry hills around Chelan, and cuts into the Cascade Mountains. Here is a shot from the "Lady of the Lake II," which goes up and down the lake each day. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/40331679060/in/dateposted-public/> And a broader shot close to Chelan, similar to what we saw our our room's window. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/41418312694/in/dateposted-public/> And here is Rocky Reach Dam, between Chelan and Wenatchee, as close as I could get due to high security.? Loved the cloud. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/41418312294/in/dateposted-public/> Enjoy, more to come. --Peter
