WeatherBug selects photo

We had danced around the edges, but none of the three of us had ever completed the Olympic Peninsula loop. So that was our objective last week when Dad, Mom and I ventured forth after a brief conference in Bonneville. Pictured here is the view from Kalaloch Lodge on Highway 101. This photograph was selected by AOL’s “WeatherBug” for inclusion in the web site’s “Beach Scenes” category. Also pictured here are Mom and Dad posing by the world’s largest spruce tree, growing near the water’s edge at Lake Quinault. The tree, estimated to be more than 1,000 years old, is 191 feet tall with a circumference of 58 feet. The final photograph here is the gazebo at Quinault Lodge, which dates back to the mid-20s. A display at the lodge notes that President Franklin Roosevelt visited in 1937, and Olympic National Park was established the following year.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
