Bright sun, snow-capped Olympic Mountains and deep ultramarine blue salty waters of Puget Sound. Yesterday,
I showed you the view from Seahurst Beach,
what typical winter weather looks like in the Northwest.
The grayness,
the heavy cold drizzling rain that soaks everything.
: : :
But here,
you can see how gorgeous the views around the Sound can be,
when the weather is cold and clear in January.
This is on Key Peninsula in the south Sound,
looking west towards the snow-capped Olympic Mountains.
The salty waters of the Sound are deep ultramarine blue
and the variegated emerald greens of the islands and shoreline.
This was last January,
we haven’t had many of those days yet this year.

Rather pretty, isn’t it?

I agree – the winters here can be glorious as well. That is the best shot I’ve seen of the Olympics in a long time!
Blue-ness abounds. So does beauty :)

Beautiful! I’ve seen these mountains about 22 years ago, only they weren’t snow capped.

Beautiful! There’s nothing quite like seeing the mountains on a clear day. . .and how welcome it is, mid-winter, after the grey of days like your post yesterday. (Aren’t we due now for a few days like this?)
That is gorgeous. The contrasts in the mountains and the water is amazing.
Love the cold, blue water.
Blueness of the water grabbed my attention. Beautiful shot.
