20161111-0n8a6708-editThe beaches in the Pacific Northwest are stunning and different from what I was used to in Southern California.  Up here the beaches are quite dramatic and change quickly.  This beach, at Kalaloch Lodge, changes daily.  The logs come and go with the tide.  One day the beach might be clear while the next it will be covered with logs.  Watching the logs come crashing in with the waves makes you think twice about getting close to the water.  See more pictures from my Olympic Peninsula trip on SMB-Photo.com

Kalaloch Tree Cave

Along the Pacific Ocean on the Olympic Peninsula, you will find the majestic Kalaloch Tree Cave.  This majestic tree seems to defy gravity by doing the splits over a runoff channel that has exposed it’s root.  Despite the harsh environment the tree is doing quite well.  I however, got a bit wet trying to take this shot.  It was raining and I was crouching in the surf to get a better angle.  A wave snuck up behind me and almost swamped me and the camera.  I managed to get away with a wet foot and a good laugh.  If you look closely you can see the rain drops in the picture.  You can see more from my Olympic Peninsula reboot trip on the blog.  SMB-Photo.com

Cliff Jumping

I had a two week vacation in Hawaii this summer.  I remember cliff jumping in Kona last time I was there so I went back to the same place to see if I could get some good shots of the locals.  In typical island style the locals were all really nice to me, especially when they realized that I would send the pics that I took.  I’ve always been a sucker for silhouettes so when the sun started to set I was able to get some great shots.  This almost looks like three shots stitched together but it’s actually three different guys getting ready to jump.  You can see more of my shots from Hawaii over on SMB-Photo.com.
