I took some photos while we were on the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. It's a gorgeous view from any vantage point on the ferry.
I took this shot of another ferry heading from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. You can see the famous Space Needle which was constructed for the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle. It's towers to a height of 605 feet (184 meters).
This is a cool shot of a sailboat we passed with a view of Mount Baker (10,778 feet) in the distance. Mount Baker is an ice-clad volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. "After Mount Rainier, it is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade volcanoes" (United States Geological Survey-USGS).I took this shot of another ferry heading from Bainbridge Island to Seattle.

According to the USGS, it's located 31 miles due east of Bellingham, WA. And considering that Bellingham is 78 miles north of Seattle, that's one heck of a distance!
From the other side of the ferry I could see Mount Rainier volcano (14,410 ft) in the distance. Hard to believe that it's about 100 miles south of Seattle!
Although I was looking into the sun, I still got a great shot. It's our third trip to Bainbridge Island to housesit. It's good to be back.
Oh those are some great pictures. Especially that last one...beautiful. My brother lives in Seattle. I remember driving up there from So Cal once and it was dark. The mountains loomed so high, it was very eery.
ReplyDeleteHey, Lori, thanks. Glad you liked the pictures. I don't have a camera with all the bells and whistles but it seems to be doing just fine. I'm going to take more photos while we're out here. It's such a gorgeous part of the country.
