Lovely Northwest Evening

Summer arrived late and with fall looming for most of the country our weather has just gotten perfect.  Warm days in the mid to low 70s filled with sunshine.  The Olympic Peninsula is the place to be right now.

This evening the sunset was simply lovely so much color lighting the sky.


I was also able to capture so of the lights as the sun has set as the water is so calm and there are no clouds or marine layer on the water this evening.


This is one of the Holland America ships bound for Alaska.  At night they seem to sparkle as they go by and tonight with the calm water just made the reflections even better.


The large tankers in the harbor keep things bright as well.



On the clear nights like tonight the lights of Victoria are a highlight of the view too.
