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.
Starting off with a good breakfast is one thing I always like in the US :-)
Eggs Benedict and hash browns, while Karen has managed to obtain a pot of tea...
It's been raining on and off today so only a quick trip round the area, stopping off here at Oswald West state park
Driving on through Nehalem, this shop caused a brief stop, since Karen designs jewellery...
That and the fact she receives text messages from friends in the UK, even while we're driving along in the forest...
Back at Cannon beach, the wind is blowing the sand a few inches above the surface and giving these constantly changing patterns
Looks as if there won't be a decent sunset tonight...
and the gulls looked cold too...
However a good cup of coffee is at hand here at the Lands End Motel, where you get fresh ground coffee waiting for you in the fridge
Compare this with the more standard Motel fayre from the place we stayed near Seattle
Somewhat better than the 'blender's choice' I had before, but if this is their flagship blend, I'd rather not try an economy version.
Anyway, time to find somewhere to eat this evening...
