From the back of the ferry boat I was able to watch and shoot a pod of Orca moving south. Apparently there were 7 Orca in this pod that were feeding on the salmon that were running a week or so ago. I was only able to spot 3 of the pod. With a 70-200mm lens this is as close as I could bring them in. A 400mm lens is beyond my budget, but I was happy to catch what I could and better yet, just to witness the pod moving and feeding was amazing. Please click to get a better view.

Beach

Partial view of the beach at Lincoln Park. If you click to enlarge you just might be able to see Coleman Pool at the point of the beach, surrounded by a white wall. Coleman Pool is unusual as it is filled with salt water that is pumped from Puget Sound. As children my brother and I would go swimming in the pool during summer, the only time it was open. The salt water was fun to swim in as it is more buoyant than fresh water.

View of the car deck and deck hand on a Washington State Ferry. The sun was just rising at the time of this shooting. This particular run was fairly quiet with few vehicles.

Intake

Intake pipe on Rocky Brook Creek that captures water for the hydro plant downstream. Water, captured here, flows through the turbines at the small plant downstream. The water is then routed back into the creek.
