FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Spit!

Taken July 4, 2026

A “spit” is a disposition of gravel or sand that extends out into a body of water, often inviting exploration. A classic example is Dungeness Spit at the top of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Jutting out over five miles into the Straight of Juan de Fuca, the rock and cobblestone fin acts as a trap for all manner of debris. Ancient tree stumps and seaweed wash up on the beach, where seagulls, sand pipers, and tenacious grasses try to establish a way of life in the cool wind.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!
