Olympic National Park Gallery
Monday, July 12, 2010 at 06:42PM Recently, June 2010, I had the chance to do a 5 day photo shoot in Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. For those who might not know, Olympic is made up of three distinct types of ecosystem, an expansive rainforest, a mountainous alpine section and some very rugged and rocky seashore. I spent a bit of time at all three but it is a big place and would take a couple of weeks to do justice to the whole park. Weather was late spring/early summer with about equal parts sunshine and rain, temps mostly in the 50 to mid 60 range.
Beginning with this gallery posting, I'll take a gallery down when a new one goes up to keep the site manageable in size. If any regular viewers want to see any images from the departed gallery, an email or comment to the home page will get my response. The gallery going away this time is the oldest one, from Zion/Bryce N. P. in Utah. I appreciate your interest and welcome comments.
This image is from Olympic, a footbridge on the trail to Marymere Falls. The bridge is unusual in that it is a log that has been sawed in half lengthwise with the flat side up and is only wide enough for single file traffic. The Park Service is working on replacing the bridge; I'm sure the new one won't have the character of this one. Marymere is a very tall waterfall and hard to shoot because of the terrain.
