Sky Watch: Driftwood Sunset
Another view of some huge driftwood on the beach, this time on a rare clear evening at sunset. For most of the time I spent in this area, the beaches were totally fogged in, so this was a pleasant break. This spot is known as Second Beach and is just near the little native american fishing town of La Push. I have a pretty funny shot of about 30 or so photographers all shooting on this beach at the same time.. I think there was some workshop or something going on this particular day. You have to walk almost a mile through the forest to get here, so I was a bit surprised, but on second thought it IS known as probably the most photogenic beach in Washington and it seems like quite a few people choose to stay and camp out overnight when the weather is good. It lived up to it's reputation for beauty on this evening.

Beautiful photo! Great colors and composition... Thank you!
Great shot showing the beach "furniture" and the island. I had a friend who lived in LaPush for years and enjoyed my visits there.
Lake Powell is coming. Have to finish the river trip and flight first. I'm rather a chronological person. Guess you'll just have to keep coming back. ;)
Beautiful! Scenery, colors, composition, and I love that island with the trees on top!
I like the perspective of this shot, and the subtleness of the sunset.
A very effective pov Mark - great landscape, well captured.
I love the angle you took this photo from!
One is able to touch time. Impresed.

I like the composition of this image. The Island of trees are center stage among all those boulders. Lovely just lovely image.

What a magnificent place to experience. This image is outstanding. thank you
Hi there - the memory is such a great thing. I must have spent no more than 3 hours on that beach over 15 years ago - but I recognised it as soon as I saw it.
Thanks for taking me back!

Gorgeous, calm, and a feeling of peace rests along this shore of the remains of what had once lived, still in their beauty, only changed~

Beautifully captured!
My Skywatch, have a nice weekend!
Really nicely done Mark. All this wood is impressive and the setting sun is perfect behind the rocks !
Stunning photo! The light and the colors are exquisite. I love the La Push area, but have not been to Second Beach. I will have to go! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous!
