A landscape photographer's tour

Keith's travels in the Pacific Northwest - September-October 2007

Heading north from Bend, we cross the Columbia river, stop off at Stonehenge and continue on to Seattle.

This photo-diary covers some of my travel photography from a driving trip starting at Seattle, Washington in September/October 2007. It's a great place for a vacation, or just a road trip along 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.

What's the Washington weather like? What's the Oregon weather like? National Weather Service radar (Pacific Northwest) What are the roads like?

Travelling from Bend, Oregon to Seattle Washington

Here's the motel, as we make an early getaway...

As you head north up US97, there is a wide plateau, where there really isn't a lot to see, although not a bad drive

big skies...

and the odd tree (you can see it from the in car shot above)

crossing the Columbia river (another big bridge)

Just over the bridge is a large fruit stand - so we stocked up with plums and peaches

This view gives the context for the bridge- note the rather long train (certainly over half a mile long)

The photo above was taken at Stonehenge, or at least the war memorial built as a copy

The view from inside

They do a lot of fruit in this part of Washington - and frequently sell it alongside antiques

Anyway, we got to Kirkland. We're staying at a friend of mine's for a few days, so here's a view of Seattle in the distance, or at least the glow it throws up onto the clouds.

Since there hasn't been so many food shots, here's the ribs I sampled that evening in Bellvue (with Al in the background)

And the range of Cheesecake available for deserts
