Another posting from the road:

All along the Washington state coast you can find "sea stacks" - pieces of rock that the sea and the wind have cut off from the mainland. In effect, these are crumbs from the continent's edge, carved by the power of 6,000 miles (10,000 kilometers) of the open ocean smashing into the western American shoreline.

This shot is from Second Beach, an isolated spot in the Olympic National Park just about the Native American town of La Push (a corruption of "La Bouche"). We got there at low tide, and for the half-hour or so that we wandered around the beach, we even had some sun. As soon as we got back in the car, it started raining again. (Take note, Peter!)

Technical: Picture Project - raise brightness a little, medium use of color booster, low sharpening.

hello Daniel,
this is a sweet photo that gives us a good idea of the place. I think that many of us would love to make our feet wet and our memory cards happy wandering around that beach ;)
regards,
kostas

Hi Daniel,
what a wonderful wilderness. Pure nature at its best.
Compliments, Chris

Hi Dan,
Interesting, because i will be here in two months from now. Really looking forward to this place and seeing it from you it brings me in the right mood for standing there myself and give my best try in making something special. The rock in front is clever composed in to the image, i like that.
Regards, Henk

Hi Daniel,
a good picture, i like the little rock in the foreground waterpod, reminding also the background.
regards,didier

Dan,
Thanks for this one - it's definitely the Northwest Coast, there's just no mistaking it.
Not quite sure what possessed me to do a workshop - but I did!
Regards
Colin

Dan,
I see that you're having a quite successfull trip (despite the outrageously high gas prices) photographically speeking. The composition with the rock, the ripple sand and the puddle in the foreground are the icing on the cake in this composition. the light wasn't at its best, but those are the limitations when going to these places without the time to stay there and wait for that precious moment in the next 72 hours or even more.

Hi Daniel

love the composition with the puddle and rock in the foreground, and even though you didn't have the best light, still a very nice shot.

the curvature you have on the horizon can be levelled using PT Lens, a photoshoip plug-in

Hello Dan,

San Francisco and points south I know quite well. I am delighted to see from your camera (and eye) some of the magical spots along the shore to the north of San Francisco. A succinct, but informative note complements the photo. Warm regards and have a good weekend,

Bulent

Hello Daniel,

the landscape I like very much. Invitation to be there. Your good idea to put the stone on the middle. Great atmosphere. Many thanks for this formidable photo.

Hi Dan,
a truly fine composition, with great depth of field and management of light. Yet, its strongest point (in my opinion, of course) is the atmosphere you've been able to pin down. Yes, this is the Pacific Northwest, no doubt!
Excellent effort, thanks for sharing.
Have a great day, see ya soon for more.
Cheers,
Fulvio.

hi Dan,
there's something very Zen about this photo, I like a lot the pastel colours and melancholic mood it creates. the delicate ripples in the sand, the mist on the horizon, even the white-crested waves with their monotonous sound add to the meditative feeling. nice one :)

with best regards,
Kristine
