in the Elwha Valley of Olympic National Park, Washington. In the last few days, a strong storm has brought significant rain to the lowlands and snow to the higher elevations. Heat from our woodstove feels good in these wet, cold conditions Thanks for looking.

Nice contrasting elements here with the snow, evergreens and Fall pastels

Ray Still

Hi Ray,

Thanks very much and glad you like the image, captured today on my morning walk- cold and wet

Bob

Just across the river from the entrance station I'd guess. Very nice counterpoint to the other evening when I was there. Excellent comp Bob, with lots of attractive layers, and the ubiquitous low clouds.

Hi Tim,

Many thanks and glad you like the image, which was captured between the Entrance Station and River, in between rain squalls That's all I photographed during this morning's walk, too wet to carry the camera up the Valley.

Cool shot Bob. Very nicely composed.

Many thanks, Dpic_arctic,

For your kind comments and glad you like the image.

Nice one Bob - by the end of this weekend the storms will have removed most vestiges of fall from the trees down in the Portland/Vancouver area and left us ready for a wet winter season.

Hi Alan,

Many thanks and glad you like the image. Indeed, Autumn is fading and Winter is coming on strong. Looking forward to Winter dynamics in December and January, and then, Early Spring

Fine catch of the transition, Bob. Beautifully layered image with lovely contrasts of color and atmospherics.

Hi Barry,

Many thanks and glad you like the image. It was a good time to be there with a few minutes of no rain and partial clearing.

Bob

Cool shot, Bob. Looks like a pair of twins. Lovely compostion on this.

Cheers,

Hi Ed,
