Description
This is Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.
Looking at this it's easy to imagine yourself alone, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful views, having hiked miles up into the mountains to get here.
In reality, we just pulled off Highway 101, which is a torturously twisty road around the lake. There was a nice place to park, and we spent an enjoyable half hour just experiencing the beautiful surroundings. And taking a few photographs, of course.
What a gorgeous drive!

Oh I'm pretty sure this is where the fairies and gnomes live! Magical place and a wonderful view! Awesome shot Tara! :)
Fantastic shot. I love the light and the mood. Looks really magical!
The lines and forms that those roots make are lovely.
Wonderful place. Great shot!!
Outstanding image! Fantastic eye to see this and tear yourself away from the lake long enough to capture this wonderful scene. I am using your pictures to create my itinerary for my visit this summer.
What a stunning image, Tara! It reminds me of some painter or other whose name escapes me. Magical!
WOW! WHat a sight. It looks fabulous. What strikes me most, is the lack of GRASSES. Well done Tara.
Tara this is beautiful!
Exquisite shot, Tara. I just love those mossy textures.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Excellent composition.

I always enjoy seeing your landscape photography. Just love the serenity of this capture. :)
This is so appealing...it has a secluded and hidden feeling. Stellar work, Tara.
What a wonderful place, and of course photo!!!!
Fantasic work! I love the appearance of those exposed roots.
Great shot! :)
really pretty and quite serene
First thought in my mind is how deep the lake is about 20 feet away. We're standing on the edge of an extremely steep slope here. You've captured the magic of this place...excellent...love the late afternoon light. And not long ago, you had only a half-dozen or so landscapes in your gallery. Things do change, don't they:)
Beautiful composition. excellent work
That's a great shot! Looks like a perfect place to sit for a while and just be.
Stellar effects, nigh onto an oil painting.
Wow, wonderful image! Very well done!
very lovely
Beautifully captured Tara!
