Washington is known as the Evergreen State. Most people seem to believe it's all pine forests.

A view down Washington Street in West Plains at dusk. Wispy colorful clouds fill the sky. The street is full of colorful facades that seem to glow in the late evening light.
the following paragraph is copy/pasted from an article from the Burke Museum entitled NW Origins:
The geologic evolution of Washington State is one of the most fascinating geologic stories ever told. It is a tale of the breakup of ancient giant continents, the birth and death of great ocean basins, the collision of exotic islands, the uplift and wearing away of generations of mountain ranges, enormous floods of molten lava and great continental glaciers of the Ice Ages. Washington’s geologic history stretches back in time more than a billion years, and it continues to unfold around us every day.
Couldn't have said it better myself, but when you stand in places like this, (High Rock Peak) you can't help but wonder and marvel at the forces that create such splendor. This is the view facing West, the view East is much the same. IMMEDIATELY to the north towers Mount Rainier, to the south the remnants of Saint Helens and the second tallest peak in the state, Adams. In the faraway land of Oregon the pyramid face of Hood can be seen, it's like stepping back in time looking around and watching the Earth being made.
Closing out my photos taken last week is this fellow, for better or worse.

Even on the path to the house there were photos for the taking. As the out buildings crumble around it, the old house remained.

Washington Mews is a small street with a very long history. Originally part of the main foot path connecting the east and west side of Manhattan Island used by the Native American Lenape a term to describe the loose collection of tribes of the region that spoke very similar dialects and customs which were renamed the Delaware's by the Europeans. Back in the 18th century most of the land was still farmland and a large parcel was brought by Captain Robert Richard Randall a wealthy ship owner who brought the 24 acre parcel of land for 5000 pounds back when New York was still an English colony. In 1801 Captain Randall died and bequeathed in his will that the land be used for the construction for sailor homes called Sailor's Snug Harbor with a trust set from his estate to be used to run it. However a long legal battle from the children of his half brother dragged on for many years. The end result of the legal battle was the land was leased out for various commercial purposes and income from the leasing of the land the home for retired sailors was built in Staten Island. Starting in 1854 a series of stables was built along the street which were used by some of the wealthiest families in the city at the time. In 1916 the stables were remodeled into artists studios by the architectural firm Maynicke & Franke and around 1950 the buildings were leased out to New York University which converted the buildings to office and living space for top ranking faculty and administrators. The buildings also now have protected landmark status and one of the few streets in New York City that still has cobblestones.
A post office was established in 1890. A school was built in 1892 followed by the first resort hotel, taking advantage of the area's natural beauty. Following the Panic of 1893, hard times began in earnest but never affected Chelan completely. The first bank was established in 1893. Chelan was officially incorporated on May 7, 1902. In 1903, the city gained electric lights and water service via nearby Donaldson Springs. A permanent town hall was constructed in 1904 (but was destroyed by fire in 1927).
The Washington Monument is an obelisk shaped building within the National Mall in Washington, D.C. built to commemorate George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army (1775–1784) in the American Revolutionary War and the first President of the United States (1789–1797). Located almost due east of the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial, the monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world's tallest predominantly stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 (169.046 m) tall.
This is a color take on the leaf on the water scene I shared a week or so ago. Old ass FujiChrome 50D still has some fun in it.

What better than to have a photo with not only the Space Needle, but also Mount Rainier in the backdrop! It wasn't a real clear day, but then, something is better than nothing at all!
This, too, was taken from Kerry Park up on the hill. This is a very popular place for photographers, where you obviously have a very full panoramic view of the area.

I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston
and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, commonly known as Washington National Cathedral, is an American cathedral of the Episcopal Church. The cathedral is located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. The structure is of Neo-Gothic design closely modeled on English Gothic style of the late fourteenth century. It is both the second-largest church buildingin the United States, and the fourth-tallest structure in Washington, D.C.
