Edmonds has a lot of quirky houses and interesting gardens. This one is near 3rd and Walnut across from one of Edmonds parks.

Edmonds Ferry Terminal & Marsh

Edmonds is known for its many murals. This one honors the indigenous tribes from the area.

The Edmonds Marsh is within walking distance of the ferry dock. Bird watchers love the area. Eagles are regularly seen here. The marsh colors and atmosphere change with the seasons. There is a boardwalk for getting different views of the marsh.

Edmonds is a small town on Puget Sound that is one end of the Edmonds-Kingston ferry route, that takes people to the Olympic Penninsula. In this image the ferry is just landing, and the passengers have just seen an eagle fly overhead.

The fishing pier is a good way to watch the ferry, and it offers lots of photo opportunities itself.

The Edmonds harbor area is also close to the ferry dock. It is a favorite area where people like to walk, often from the dog park to the beach next to the ferries.

One of original Saunders and Lawton designed buildings. Some of the buildings are being turned into Job Corps and drug rehabilitation facilities. But this is one that is still awaiting its full rehabilitation.

Northern State Hospital

On entering the grounds I saw the roof of this old abandoned barn emerging from behind the treeline.

Several of the old out-buildings where food was prepared for the patients are being reclaimed by nature. This roof reminded me of a place hobbits might live.

One abandoned building in the woods has been receiving visitors, and was becoming a little Jackson Pollockish.

These abandoned barns were just starting to fall apart. I liked the contrasts between the walls and roofs.

This is a closeup of Granite Falls. In September it is possible to get down into the rocks, which in the spring will be underwater.

Granite Falls Fishladder

Arnie Lund

On one side of the gorge are amazing granite cliffs.

Just below the Falls is an interesting contrast between the sharp, vertical edges of the cliffs, the soft flowing water, and the smooth boulders that the water has turned pieces of the cliffs into.

Granite Falls Fishladder

Arnie Lund

One of the contrasts in the little valley is on the one hand the natural beauty and power of the Falls, and the very human graffiti covered fish ladder.

Granite Falls Fishladder

Arnie Lund

All kinds of things wash down the river and over the falls during the wild water of the spring, and are left high and dry by the end of the summer.

Downstream from the Falls the water forms into pools. As I was taking pictures a large fish jumped into the air as it had its breakfast.

This is another angle on the stream as it flows between the huge cliffs and the large river boulders.

There are many points along the Snohomish River outside of Snohomish, WA itself where you can get beautiful river images. This is one of them, and it turned out well despite the haze from fires in the Cascade mountains.

This is an island I shot at the alternative viewpoint I added to the map.

Across from the river itself there are a variety of farms. This one is a flower farm.

This is taken from the Duwamish River Trail looking back towards Seattle, through the industrial growth and redevelopment that has happened in the area.

The Canadian geese were migrating through, and poking around in the (sadly) polluted edges of the habitat.

The barges serving the area provide an interesting mix of colors and textures.

I was interested in the cranes, the nature, and the floats in the River. The day was very hazy, but dehazing and then adding fog back in actually conveyed the feel of the river a little better.

This is a little different view of the geese as they rooted around on the mossy edges of the river.

As I was shooting a large container ship came up the river. I liked the mix of colors that appeared in the shot.

I had a feeling that if Ansel Adams could bring himself to walk through these industrial buildings, he might create a shot like this.

As Seattle turned this into the heart of their industrial area they shored up the edges to prevent silting and erosion. The rocks, and the plants (both living and dead), served as a symbolic contrast of what was going on.

This is the Skagit River during the winter eagle watching season.

Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center

Arnie Lund

The eagles hang out in the trees when they aren't hunting. They tend to be active been dawn and around 11:00. Since the trees often have early snow on them, it can sometimes be a challenge to spot them when they are sitting still.

Skagit River Bald Eagle Interpretive Center

There are farms scattered along the river as well that offer a variety of photographic opportunities.

While the weather can be a challenge in the winter, it also provides some unique images that are worth capturing.

This picture was taken on a cold day in the winter, following a snow. I was using a ND filter for a long exposure that would smooth the waves.

Mouth of the Snohomish River

While exploring long exposure times I ran across a group of geese. Their movement added an interesting effect to the photo. I think of them as the ghost geese. As I was shooting them a couple of eagles flew overhead.

This was another shore of the river looking out at the pylons and also the snow covered Cascades as a new weather front was moving in.

Teepee burners, or wood burners, were used to burn mill waste up until the mid-70s. And what a lot of waste there was. Even by 1970, it is estimated that only about 50% of every tree cut was utilized. Even less was used in the early days when refuse was often sent down a river or burned in open pits.

This was taken in mid-January, so streams are drying out a little. I used a wide-angle lens and a polarizer to get to the whole falls. The trail is an excellent one.
