The receding tide made intricate arrangements of sand and smooth stones on Ruby Beach in the Olympic National Park on a winter afternoon. Vertical color photograph: in the foreground, dark sand is cut and texture by the receding tide. A inverted V shape of dark stones smoothed by the waves and time point towards the horizon. Beyond, the beach is littered with more stones. Towards the top of the image the sunset sky is first reflected in the shallow water at the edge of the beach. There is a thin break in the colors caused by the surf, and then sea stacks are silhouetted against the blazing orange-yellow sky. A line of clouds stretches across the sky, running diagonally from the upper left of the image to just above the horizon line on the right.

As the sun sets off Ruby Beach in the Olympic National Park, a shorebird rests on a sea stack, somehow confident that the incoming waves won't drench it. Horizontal color photo: The setting sun - out of frame to camera left- has turned the sky orange and stained the dark waters of the Pacific a similar color. In the mid left of the frame, a sea stack is silhouetted agains the sky, and atop it, a shorebird stands, a sharp black shape against the sky. Moving across the frame, left-to-right, a wave shatters against the rock, water droplets frozen in mid-air by the high shutter speed.

The annual #MartinLutherKingJuniorHoliday has been removed as a free admission day at any #USnationalpark. Removed by the #NPS at the order of #felon47. The #orangeTerrorist's birthday, which coincides with the annual #FlagDay federal holiday, has been substituted for the next free admission day.

It's probably one of the prettiest places on this planet. The lake is magnificent. I made a promise to come back one day.
