This last week I was out in Tacoma for my monthly visit. As usual it was a pleasure to visit and I found myself in new territory. This time I was able to get out and see the Point Defiance Park and head down the Puget Sound cost line back to Lakewood where I was staying. With the sun roof back and the windows down and a light breeze flowing through the car I was able to find true inter peace that is seldom reached.
As I was driving through, at the fort in the middle they were having a car show with cars out of the 30’s and 40’s era. the down side for me was that the trees were so thick that the light was too low to get good shots. as I went through the park I hit all of the overlooks onto the sound. I was able to catch the boats sailing up and down and some great shots of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that sands tall where Galloping Gertie once stood. I was amazed by the amount of walk paths and the fact that they have a zoo in the middle of the park. Next time I go I would like to venture through there when I have a little more daylight.
From the park I went down to another park called Titlo Park. The park part it’s self it under construction however there is some kind of boating club tucked back on the water side. You have to park and walk a ways back; however it is well worth it. I was able to get out on the beach and get some great shots not to mention the one of the bridge with the sun setting behind the trees. Over all that was a great way to finish the day!
