#Two waterfalls and of one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland for the latest #BlueSkyArtShow. Can you guess the name of the mountain and/or the popular TV series that featured it?

It’s the trail to Lake Valhalla in WA state. 🥾🏔️🏕️

A hiking trail through the forest with curved tree trunks growing across the path.

My favorite Pacific Northwest hiking trail for the #BlueSkyArtShow. Trees and #wood in all shapes and sizes.

Hi Doug! We book apartments instead of hotels, and cook our own dinners, but in the am, we enjoy Reykjavik Roasters, Braud & Co, & Grai Kotturinn (Gray Cat). Lunch favs, La Poblana & Vitabar. We're visiting Sky Lagoon on our next trip, & a South Coast tour or whale watching is highly recommended.

Bruce Springsteen and What Protest Songs Sound Like to Soldiers What the rock icon’s new song about Minneapolis asks of us.

"Nations endure only if they retain a shared moral center. Music gives expression—and attention and contention—to that moral center. Protest songs don’t offer easy answers. They create space—to pause, to listen, and to ask hard questions we might prefer to avoid."

A Pacific Northwest marina on a quiet winter day. The water is calm, the sky and water are light gray and there are two boats moored on the right side of the frame.

This is the harbor at Siglufjordur in Northern Iceland. Sicily sounds lovely too!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This former Seattle Seahawk is now a designer. Here's where to see his work "Night Chapel," by designer and former Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett, is on view on the grounds of Northwest African American Museum.

“I just love everything about wood, because when you touch it, it brings memory into your hands,” said Bennett. “It’s smooth. There’s a smell to it. It has its own perfume. It’s alive in a lot of ways. And the sustainability of it is renewal — it endures.” www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

I've been looking for something #Bright on this dark November day, and rediscovered my misty Pacific Northwest image in a 2013 post I wrote about the color green. #BlueSkyArtShow #pnw #MtBaker #PictureLake
