View from the Ferry House

The Olympic Mountain view from the Ferry House in the Ebey Historic Reserve in central Whidbey Island.

Ebey Historical Reserve and Mount Rainier

Another great place to hike on Whidbey Island is from the Prairie Overlook at the Coupeville cemetery to the bluff. The trail is relatively level and the views spectacular, like this one. You can see Mt. Rainier, shown here, Mt. Baker and the Olympics from this trail. You also pass by the Ebey House which has great displays full of historical information on the area.

I had fun with this image in Lightroom 3.  I pushed some color, grain, contrast, etc.  Somehow, that new porch just does not seem to fit.

I converted it to black & white, hoping the new porch would not be so evident.  Which is better?
