#looking west

Watercolour on paper , 20 x 20 cm.

Teresa Elliott, “Looking West”, oil on canvas. American realist painter living and working in her desert studio north of the Big Bend National Park in Alpine, Texas.

Looking west off the Deception Pass Bridge, you can see the Puget Sound and the start of the San Juan Islands. Beautiful even when cloudy. I will get better photos soon. This bridge joins Whidbey Island with Fildalgo Island and is the only way to get off Whidbey Island going north. I love Washington ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Glorious sunset (filtered, yeah)

One of 63 Ways to Beat Stress and Feel Great in Grand Canyon National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and taking in sights at Navajo Point with a view looking to the west across the various eroded formations, temples and buttes present at this overlook. A little bit of the Colorado River flowing by was also visible! My thinking in composing this image was to bring out a more sweeping view across this wide open, canyon expanse by angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward. The main river canyon with its deep cut would also be that leading line leading off into the distance. The earth-tones present in the lower portion of the image would be complemented by the blues of the skies above.

Well it’s just about quitting time and man have I worked up a thirst!!!
