We had every intention of canoeing during our Christmas weekend, but strong winds and rain prevented that. We went exploring, and drove up north to old Fort Flagler. It rests on a high bluff overlooking Puget Sound, with views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. Many historic old buildings still stand at this 19th century-established military fort. I walked around, photographing the old paint, latches and doors, as well as the old military gun-batteries built into the earth. Take a few moments, scroll down, and catch glimpses of Puget Sound.
