I just returned from a week-long trip east of Washington's Cascade 
Mountains, on the "dry side"? of the state.? I "took a vow" of black and 
white for this trip, bringing my Leica M Monochrom and 35, 50 and 90mm 
lenses.? I used a yellow filter a lot.

This turn-of-the-20th century courthouse is in Waterville, the Douglas 
County seat. This combination of light and clouds lasted only a few seconds.

This public phone in the above courthouse's lobby is either a replica or 
an old casing with modern electronics inside. Regardless, it fits.

Lake Chelan is a fjord-like lake, 55 miles (88 km) long, which begins in 
the dry hills around Chelan, and cuts into the Cascade Mountains.
Here is a shot from the "Lady of the Lake II," which goes up and down 
the lake each day.

And a broader shot close to Chelan, similar to what we saw our our 
room's window.

And here is Rocky Reach Dam, between Chelan and Wenatchee, as close as I 
could get due to high security.? Loved the cloud.

Enjoy, more to come.
