Color photo. A wide view of the Olympic Mountains at sunset. The setting sun is lowering behind a peak on the right, with a thick wisp of cloud extending into it from below. The mountains are successive ranks of ever darker shadow across the middle of the frame. Above them is the sky full of wispy cloud, and below them are the waters of Puget Sound. Sky and water mirror each other's brightness and color. Sailboats dot the water.

“Every new beginning is some other beginning’s end”

Words I’ve been thinking about recently, from the song “Closing Time” by Semisonic.  I’ve wanted to incorporate them into a tattoo for a while, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to make that happen.

The view from Sunset Hill Park lends itself to untraditional photo widths, with the line of Olympics marching across the frame.  I was inspired to do just that with these images.

Color photo. A setting sun above the Olympic Mountains, which are seen in silhouette. Between the sun and the mountains are clouds, but elsewhere the sky is clear and golden. The bottom half of the photo are the waters of Puget Sound, upon which the sunlight is casting a lane of bright reflection. A line of sailboats are crossing the lane.
