Tacoma and points east

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge as it stands today.  I remember physics classes that talked about the original bridge collapse being related to resonance: today they think it was due to negative damping.  In any case, the original bridge only survived for 2 months before it died a violent death.

The Cascades from my perch in the passenger seat.

Fog settling into the valleys in the Cascade mountains.  It seemed as though the sun shone in patches: bright sunshine surrounded by dark clouds.  

One of many lakes in the Cascades. We slept through a hail storm and never heard a sound.

Easton Lake, east of Seattle, northwest of Spokane. The water was still and clear.  The state park was one of the best campgrounds we've visited to date.

The sun setting over Easton lake.

I loved this pic: the reflections on the water were spectacular.

Family hike in the woods.  I think Georgy had 3 baths that day.

I think the clouds look better in their reflection!
