CMMC August Pick a Topic: Ship and Water

Ship on the Columbia River; west of Astoria, Oregon. October 13, 2011.

Cee’s photos in her “pick a topic” for this week’s Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge made me think of vacations in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. So I searched through digital files for this week’s challenge and found three to share.

Shipwreck, Oregon Coast, Pacific Ocean. May 12, 2010.

Are fisherman’s boats also called ships? Probably not. But I liked the reflections on the water in this last picture.

Fishing Boats, Fisherman’s Terminal, Seattle, Washington. October 7, 2018.

CMMC August Color: White

White seemed an unusual color for a hot air balloon, but with a little sunshine, a beautiful blue sky and fluffy white clouds I thought it rather striking!

Though I’d missed the launching of balloons at the Big Sky International Balloon Rendezvous 2022 that morning I thoroughly enjoyed chasing balloons as they traveled east of Billings, Montana. This second photo was taken seven minutes after the first one.

Early the next morning I was at the launch site and got a shot of the white balloon being filled with hot air.
