Beyond the Trail

Olympic National Park is a wondrous place with some of the best beaches in the world and rain forests only about an hour always.  This strange combination of great beaches and rain forests is what drew me to the park in the first place and what will bring me back in the future.  Unfortunately during the entire trip heavy fog covered the entire coastline making the opportunity to create some new images an impossible one.  On my final morning I decided to give it one more go and hope the fog wouldn't appear.  I started my hike in the dark and by the time I was making my final descent to the beach the predawn light was starting to reveal a sunrise with no fog.  For the first time I had the chance to see the sea stacks that the park is known for, what a sight.  I walked the beach for a while trying to familiarize myself with the setting, one of the most difficult places to create new landscape images is one in which you're not familiar.  I finally found  a rock that was shaped in such a way that it seemed to be pointing down the beach to the sea arch in the distance and curves of water heading back into the ocean and decided I found my spot.
