Back in early May of this year my beautiful bride and I took a drive up to Port Gamble and Port Townsend on the Olympic peninsula - just a long weekend get-away and a chance to visit a place neither of us had seen in years. Port Gamble is an old mill town which was founded in 1853, by Maine businessmen Andrew Pope and William Talbot, and was the longest continuously operating mill town in North America. Authentically restored and operated by Pope Resources it's a living museum - and just fun to visit - especially if you like Victorian style architecture like we do. Up by Port Townsend there is an old military Fort - Fort Warden - with concrete emplacements and such, and at the edge of the fort is the lighthouse Pt. Wilson, further up coast is the lighthouse at Point-No-Point.

We drove back over to see this, and it was time well spent! The folks who involve themselves in this do so with some gusto - anyone who would spend all day in woolen uniforms doing this stuff for free must love it!

Enjoy them if you chose - and if it leads you to photographing something interesting going on in your own backyard - share the images! Best of Light, Norm -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
