Well, in trying to get in my favorite photos from two trips that happened within two weeks of each other, I'm just mixing Seattle with San Francisco, Olympic National Park with Yosemite, and more. Hope you don't all get confused. :)

This is the oft-photographed Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, shot on a gray and foggy day (hence the washed out sky) in mid-August.

Between the colums to frame the shot and then with the mass of foliage before the main structure. I am a big fan of this.
