discovery park lighthouse

    the sky was laden with heavy clouds, but off towards the west i could see the sun peeking through the ominous layers. one of those unique moments in the pacific northwest...

      Love this place. I really need to get back there, and redo some of the shots I've done. Hopefully this coming summer.

      This reminds me a lot of another shot by a fellow Seattlite, stvkrn:

      This is...nice. Very nice.

    34. Red~Star (76 months ago | reply)

      This is so well done it's almost visual overload. Gosh, you sure made the clouds dark and rich looking. And the grassy foreground is like a painting. Where was this lighthouse?
      A big FAVE for me.
      Ok, I just saw your photostream and surmise that this is in the Seattle area? I'm a Washingonian too.

    35. wildpianist (76 months ago | reply)

      thank you all for your wonderful comments!
      @RavenNW - i geotagged the photo for easier lookup now. the lighthouse is right on the westernmost tip of discovery park.
