I'm taking a little detour from Bellingham for today's skywatch photo. This was taken from the I-82 viewpoint before dropping down into the Kittitas Valley and Ellensburg. As a nearly life-long Bellingham resident, I'm always struck by the openness of vistas like this since they are so hard to come by on the west side of the Cascades. I love the lushness on our side of the mountains, but there is something soothing about standing on a breezy hill and letting your eye roam the horizon.
