| This shot was taking at the port of Ilwaco, WA. This town is just down Hwy 101 from my current favorite kiting location, Long Beach, WA, and just across the Columbia from Astoria, OR. It's a neat little port, with lots of boats, fishing operations, restaurants, and shops. Fun to walk around, and there's even a farmers' market on Sundays during the summer. This boat was obviously docked when we were there, and I liked the way the wide angle lens helped fill the frame of the photo. To me it really conveyed the scale and grandeur of the vessel. It's no small task heading out into the open ocean, so you need a sturdy boat to bring you home. Mind you, many of the boats here looked far from seaworthy, but that's one of the reasons I liked the Nova, she looked like she'd seen a lot of time out on the high seas, but was still up to the task. |
