A landscape photographer's tour
Keith's travels in the Pacific Northwest - September-October 2007
Three years ago, Keith took his then fairly new Canon 1Ds on a driving tour round the Rockies in the USA. This photo-diary covers a driving trip starting at Seattle, Washington in September/October 2007. There are also photo-journals on this site covering an earlier trip to some of the area, but starting at San Francisco. There is also an article on a trip to Colorado

The weather isn't at its best, but I do enjoy driving along the Pacific coast. These pages will have a few of my pictures along the way. I'm not on my own this time so I'll probably not be keeping quite the detailed notes I usually do... :-)
It's a great place for a vacation, or just a road trip up the Pacific coast to photograph some of the scenery. If you've any questions about the hotels/inns/motels where I stayed, then please do feel free to drop me a line.
A trip up round the the three capes route
This first shot looks back towards the thick cloud atop Cape lookout
At Oceanside - looking south
On the road to cape Meares
Cape Meares lighthouse (I didn't take this one ;-)
Inside the lighthouse...
The view looking south towards Oceanside (round the headland), from cape Meares
A roofless car is so much better to spot potential picture locations...
...and more fun to drive (when not raining)
The bay leading up to Tillamook
The sky cleared a bit, back at Cape Kiwanda
from a walk along the beach
What happens when you take a front wheel drive van on to a sandy beach
Unfortunately well above the high tide line, so not not really the sense of urgency that would have drawn a big crowd...
Why just travel around in a big car, when you can attach a truck like thing to the front of it...
Karen was bored and someone persuaded her to have a go at paragliding
Not a great sunset tonight, but at least it wasn't raining
