It's a late winter afternoon on Lake Wenatchee and Emerald Island in the Washington Cascades. The fading light casts a blue hue on a serene scene, A massive storm hit the mountains only a few days blanketing the lakeshore with feet of fresh snow. Kids played on the beach earlier that day and created small iceberg-like sculptures that land themselves to a nice foreground. Multicolored stones line the bottom of the lake. They are visible in the clear icy water. No polarizer filter necessary. This wonderland is only 2 hours west of Seattle on Highway 2, and a favorite place.

it is the last light at Cattle Point at the southern tip of San Juan Island, Washington. One turn left into Haro strait, and then straight through Juan de Fuca and it's about 50 miles to the mouth of the Pacific Ocean. The Cattle Point lighthouse marks the entrance to Cattle pass and the southern tip of the island. The pass separates Lopez and San Juan Islands in the archipelago of the same name. It is notorious of its current when millions of gallons ebb and flow with the movement of the Salish sea. Lopez island is visible in the background. Looks can be deceiving, the pass can a rough passage when the tide and winds are opposed - I've experienced a few times as a sailor. This image is a 10 second exposure. Not long enough to see the clouds motion, but enough to capture the lines of currents moving through the pass. See if you can spot them.
