WW I memorial in front of Courthouse

This memorial to the Jefferson County fallen during WW I is located on the main walkway to the County Courthouse. Those are ornamental cabbages blooming in front of the plaque.

Dawn at the Post Office

Unless you get up and out early, you’ll seldom see the Port Townsend Post Office without a line of cars in front of it.

Jefferson County Courthouse

Here we see the Jefferson County Courthouse as the sun breaks through the clouds to illuminate the clock tower.

The Baker House as it might have looked 100 years ago

The Baker House is another of our lovely Victorian bed and breakfast establishments that was built in the 1890s. Out of curiosity I used Photoshop to remove all signs of modern utilities from the image so I could get an idea of what it might have looked like one hundred years ago.

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.

Night shot of the Ann Starrett Mansion

When I moved to Port Townsend this was the Starrett House and it was a bed and breakfast. Now, it’s the Ann Starrett Mansion and is a Boutique Hotel. Either way, this beautiful Victorian mansion is understandably one of the most photographed buildings in the city.

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.
