City of Everett, WA. Fourth of July Parade





Some of my favorite shots from todays Fourth of July Parade that we watched in Everett, Wa.

Messerschmitt BF 109

BF 109 housed at Flying Heritage Collection in Everett, Wa.

Polikarpov I-16

Heres a fighter I've been looking to see fly for a long time. I'm glad I finally had a chance to see it! This is an old Soviet Polikarpov I-16 that is housed at the Flying Heritage Collection in Everett.

P-51 "Val-Halla"

After the Flight

I used a trial version of Topaz's filter software on this shot. It was already a really good shot, but I gotta say, I think I like the filter effect as well.

P-51 Mustang "Impatient Virgin"

"Upupa Epops" P51 Mustang at the Flying Heritage Collection


Antennas

Random shot from Port Townsend.

P40 Warhawk and Spitfire

Supermarine Spitfire

Curtiss P40 Warhawk

Image taken today at Paine Field in Mukilteo, Wa. This was part of a 'fly day' put on by the Flying Heritage Collection.

Painted Hills Distant Trees

I like how the distant trees help give a sense of scale to the image.

Lone Tree

Taken on the ridge overlooking the painted hills. This was a spur of the moment shot as I was walking up the trail to get setup for the evening light. This lone tree caught my eye, I raised up my camera and fired off two quick shots. I'm glad I did.
