This photo expresses the immense power man has to create tools from metal that transform the world around us.
Three iconic photos of wood in the Pacific Northwest; a wooden foot-bridge, a stack of cut logs from a harvested fir tree, and a jumble of driftwood.
Water is a spiritual element for me, including the force of Pacific Ocean breakers, the swift sparkling currents in streams and rivers, and the tranquil surface of a calm lake.
Water and “Fire”
Though there is not a fire in the background, the setting sun put on quite a light-show in the above photo.
Jello enjoys a nice nap in front of the fireplace.
Earth is our home, we use it and too often abuse it. The state of Washington, under the stewardship of our governor Jay Inslee, is a leader in advancing renewable energy.
Thanks to Amy for another challenge that had me looking into my archives for just the right shots! To see more and/or to join the challenge, click the link below.

Well done!
Thanks, Chris!
I love the opening of your post. It says much of “tools have transformed the world around us”. The sunset is just remarkable. O…Jello 🙂 He looks so relaxing and comfortable in front of the fireplace. Nicely close this special series with the renewable energy. 🙂 Perfect.
Thank you so much, Lindy!
Thank you, Amy. I’m glad my message came across, since I certainly felt a similar sense in your post. We are stewards of this earth, not owners!
I agree wholeheartedly!
Lovely set of images for the challenge and I was so glad to see that your governor is working for renewable energy! A wise man. And, of course Jello is gorgeous!
Thank you, Leya. Governor Inslee is a wise man and is actually one of the 22 or so Democrats running to represent the party in this next presidential election. Though I doubt he’ll win, he’d be a wonderful addition to a cabinet position – like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Let’s hope
Sweet shots, Lindy! 🙂 Sasquatch territory! 🙂
Thanks, Tom! No signs or sightings of Sasquatch yet!
