Fort Flagler

At the northern end of Marrowstone Island is Fort Flagler. This former army fort was a coast artillery fort that along with Fort Worden (at Fort Townsend) and Fort Casey (on Whidbey Island) formed a triangle of fire to protect the entrance to Seattle by sea. Nowadays, it is a 1,451 acre state park. Not far from the entrance to the park is a marina (where we saw yesterday's heron) with several boats sitting at rest.

As you can see above it was a foggy day here and it made for a nicely moody image of a sailboat at it mooring.

From another angle, we see a moored boat closer to me and the distant shore so the fog is not part of the equation.

From the Fort Flagler campground on the west side of the park, we can see the Port Townsend Paper Corporation across the bay.

Meanwhile in nearer waters, we find other boats in between jobs.

For reasons that I do not understand, this tower is standing out in the bay between Marrowstone Island and the Port Townsend portion of the peninsula. With all the fog isolating the tower, it seemed like a good time for a little minimalism. Is this art? Nah, it is not that minimal.
