I headed up to Washington for the weekend and since I was there of cource I had to go and see the touristy things... Seattle has the famous Fish market. The one where they toss fish and yell to each other and joke around. When its not crowded its a really neat place. When its sunny and warm there are to many people for me. But this time it was perfect. The gum wall is neat but disgusting at the same time. From a short distance it just looks painted on and as you get closer you can start to smell the mint from alot of the gum. The gross part to me is its layered, so when your sticking your piece on you would have to touch the surrounding pieces... Ya no thanks, I will take pictures but I am not touching it. They just power washed it all off not to many months ago and its already back in full swing. O look beer!! Later in the weekend we headed to the Olympic National Forest to explore and hike a little. We had an idea of where we were going but no real plan, and once we got there we started looking at the GPS map and found a sign to a high steel bridge so we turned down that forest road to see what it looked like. It turned out to be a great spot to take pictures and look down the valley in both directions, the cloud cover and recent rain softened the light so I was not shooting in mid day harsh sunlight and let more of the colors show. Below is some of the shots from the bridge. After finding out a hike to an abandoned railway bridge was closed and on private property meaning jail time or a 5000$ fine we decided to head down another road to Brown creek. It was only 8 miles but through the Forest it felt much much longer. Very few cars and people were around and it was extremely quite save for the water rushing. Brown creek is the wrong name for it. It reminded me of Havasupi Falls. The water was not as brilliant but it was still tinged an awesome green / blue color from the minerals in the surrounding hills. There was almost no one around and we had the place to ourselves. I set up the tripod and started shooting. All in all another great adventure... Time to plan the next one
