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.

The blog's been delayed a bit on the grounds it takes a while to do, so the next few days will be mostly photos...

Some interesting coloured rocks on the beach

Out for a drive, there's a very small Expresso shop, along with a confused bystander

As ever, lots of Myrtlewood on Highway 101 in Oregon

And even Jam, that they will ship all over the world

Back to Bandon for a rather plain sunset

I did actually see a brief green flash as the last bit of the sun set, but I'll need a better raw converter than is currently on my laptop to show it....

This is a few moments after the sun went down
