Edmonds Autumn 2016

I'll post my local autumn shots on this thread. Although last weekend's windstorms knocked many leaves off the trees before they attained their full autumn colors, some remain.

Tuesday (10-18-16) afternoon from Brackett's Landing. There was a thunderstorm across the Sound. I saw one large display of lightning followed by a rainbow.


The sunlight and weather conditions created very unusual colors to the water that was hard to capture in a photo.




The tree next to the restroom building contrasted with the dark clouds in the background.

The next stop was Marina Park where I wanted to get shots of autumn colors on Pt. Edwards.


The Chicago bound Empire Builder (Amtrak #8) had two extra cars which required a second diesel engine.


Edmonds-Kingston ferries.

Wednesday afternoon I photographed new snow on the highest peaks of the Olympic Mts.

Saturday afternoon (10-22-16) I was photographing birds at the fishing pier with my 5DIII + 500L telephoto + 1.4x teleconverter mounted on a tripod when I noticed a train rounding the bend at Mukilteo. The sun was low, which highlighted Mt. Baker and the autumn foliage. I followed the train's progress along Puget Sound from Mukilteo to Sunset Ave.
