This weeks SNS is once again the lens work of Greg Stadter. BN 844 leads an A-B-B-A set of Wagons at Willbridge in August 1975. Chuck Schwesinger collection.

The Green River Gorge is home to some neat trails.

A foggy morning in the forest. I miss my morning walks.

They keep getting better and better!

At this time of year in the Pacific Northwest the sun sets far south of this view. But this scene, over mountains in the Olympic National Forest, really caught my eye.

Cropped and tuned up 20JUL25.

Former Q SD24s power a train on BN rails through a rock cut somewhere in the PNW.... or rather a cut on the Maryland Midland, near Thurmont MD on April 2nd 1984! The brutish SDs infamously had short careers on the former Western Maryland start-up, but look quite at home here. Kenneth Lehman photo, JL Sessa collection.

The U.S. Coast Guard was running exercises on Chambers Bay while fisher folks tried for ling cod on the reef and golfers golfed on the greens.

The gray boat speeding through the fishing boats (far left) towards the protected ferry was the "bad guy". As he approached the group the orange boat closest to him swerved to face him, they ran directly at each other and shots were fired. A very exciting sideshow for my hike!

While in search of autumn in the PNW I drove through this tunnel. It had some very nice yellow trees next to it and that’s about as autumn as it gets.

An afternoon walk around the lake

Throughout the day were these micro rain bursts that added such cool shadow effect on the landscape.

Just a closer look at Mt Baker in Washington State.

I was getting cabin fever after my work was closed for 2 straight days due to the ice storm. Decided to get out Friday afternoon and hike the local hill. The recent ice storm really did a lot of damage around town and the surrounding area, but it made for some pretty scenes.

Photo of the panoramic view of the Smith Rock State Park at the sunset time

The one thing I can say about the Pacific North West is that with a good sunset it becomes like another world.

We went for a walk after breakfast. The weather was OK at that time. But by the time I took this photo, it was rainy & windy again...
