Star trails in the southern sky

Last night’s sky held that lovely combination of moonlight, glowing low clouds lit by the city, and stars.

Silverwater Cafe in the Elk's Building

In the mid ninety’s the old Elk’s Club building on the corner of Washington and Taylor was restored. The street level holds one of my favorite restaurants, the Silverwater Cafe.

7 am on Water Street

A thick fog settled over Port Townsend, enhancing the glow of lights along Water Street at dawn.

Ad on the side of an old building

One of the treats we get from our old buildings is a look into the past. Here we see a mid 20th century version of billboards painted on the side of an old brick building.

Fog on Port Townsend Golf Club

A valley runs north to south through Port Townsend between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Port Townsend Bay. Many mornings fog and wood smoke settles in the low stretch, as shown here on the Port Townsend Golf Club course.

St.Pauls Episcopal Church

This lovely old church has the classic New England type steeple/bell tower that makes for postcard photographs. It also has the most uncomfortable pews I have ever sat in. I had been looking at some old family photos, so decided to process this in that faded style.

PT Under Blue Moon

After a cloudy day, the sky cleared to reveal a moonlit cityscape. The foreground shows the upper Umatilla Hill neighborhood. The distant hills are Morgan Hill and Uptown. The green lights on the horizon are PT High School, not a UFO.
