Out in Westport -- Friday

in #westport5 years ago (edited)

There's nothing like clocking out on payday Friday and exiting the stinky cannery into sunny Westport. I had enough time before the bus arrived to grab a Mountain Dew from the Hungry Whale convenience store, and then stroll* along the marina to the viewing tower for a few pics. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains were brilliantly lit; you can just see a hint of them here. Someday I'll have a camera that can capture them justly!

*Strolling in knee-high rubber boots is an art form I'm honing.

Westport, Wash., is located at the entrance to Grays Harbor on the Pacific Coast. I ride the bus from Hoquiam to work there at the cannery, Washington Crab, and sometimes have up to an hour to kill in the afternoon while I wait for the bus home. Out in Westport is a series of photos and videos taken with my ZTE Z899VL camera phone during that downtime.
