Washington's Coast

From 7/17/2013 to 8/2/2013, I took a road trip from the SF Bay Area to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Half of the trip was spent driving up the west coast. On my trip, I visited many famous places such as Seattle, Butchart Gardens, Mount Rainier, and much more. Obviously I got many coastal shots and many places that isn't as famous. The reason I am posting it now is because the high amount of photos I took equaled a high amount of processing time. I took a bit over 2000 photos on the trip. After stitching the panoramas, compositing the HDRs, and picking out photos from the repeats, I have a bit over 1000 photos to show you guys. The photos will be split into parts. I will link you to the previous and next parts on each post just like I did with my Death Valley National Park photos and my Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park photos. Hope you enjoy viewing this chain of posts!

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To view my best Washington's coast photos from this trip, use this link. To view all of my day 4 photos, use this link.

 Photo from Boulton Farms Road in Quilcene, WA. I highly don't agree with the sign. This is our only planet, we need to preserve it. I've seen documentaries of some of the poor areas in Africa that is poor because of over deforestation. The locals said they used to be able to live off the land, but deforestation is what making many of them not able to live anymore. Sadly, seeing this, makes me feel like the residents of Washington is not very well educated. The forests in the US (and in other areas of the world) needs to be protected.
