Greetings - 

I've posted a few snap shots for your enjoyment.  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.

While visiting Port Gamble we found out that there would be a civil war
reenactment performed by the Washington 
Civil War Association, in June.  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!

These are a few of the images I took over those two different trips to the
place - all shot with an M6, on Kodak Portra 160,
minor P.S. fixing as needed.  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
