Dungeness Spit is the longest spit in US. The Dungeness lighthouse stands over the end of the Spit. The distance between the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge Center and the Dungeness Lighthouse is about 5.5 miles. During the lower tide period, you can easily jog along the beach to the lighthouse.

Seattle, WA

Three days in a row, the temperature on Seattle was over 100 degrees. On Monday 6/28, the peak temperature in Seattle had achieved 108 degrees, which shuttered the history temperature record 105 set on July 2009. The extreme hot weather was caused by the cold atmosphere on south west coast near California, which pushed the hot atmosphere along pacific north coast to the north. The hot air cloud caused the extreme hot weather in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and up to BC, Canada.

Pacific northwest is experiencing a dangerous and unprecedent heat waves this weekend. The temperature has climbed over 100 degrees. The hot waves will last one week. Before the weather became such a huge phenomena, I picked an early morning and drove to Kerry Park in the Queen Ann hill trying to catch the sunrise of Seattle. When I was driving across SR 520 bridge to Seattle, I checked the sky, the south sky was very clear with looming Mt Rainier, but the deep pink clouds started on the north sky. I knew I would be lucky to catch the beautiful sunrise because as usual the cloud will keep moving south. So this shot made me a day!!!

Epic Sunrise in Seattle

Olympic area one of the darkest places in Washington that you can enjoy the night sky. I took this Milky Way by lighting up the sea stack on the Ruby beach. Also the water was lighted up with the blue light by Bioluminescent Phytoplankton.

On the sunny day, you can see the beautiful Seattle skyline from Creosote Park Bench on Bill Point at Bainbridge Island. Creosote was a community along Eagle Harbor in this island, now it's part of Pritchard Park.
