Solo Man in Chelan

One afternoon, Ben wanted to drive around and take pictures around the Chelan area. His company, which he still worked for at the time, had a client for whom they designed airport hangars, and he was considering building an airport in the Chelan area. So Ben volunteered to take pictures of the area to send to the client. Funny how much things change in just a couple of weeks... No more clients. No more designs.

The kids needed naps, and so did I, so I volunteered to stay behind while Ben drove around. But here are some of my favorite pictures that he took.

I love it when the air is so cold that the lake is actually steaming. Another view:

It's just really long and skinny. And deep:

And I actually took the following three pictures. This is what you see if you look out the side windows of Gloria's house:

You can see the lake just beyond those pine trees.

And here's what you see when you look out the front windows:

Every spare inch of these hills surrounding Chelan is covered with apple orchards. It's so pretty. And here's Gloria's house:

It's more than a hundred years old. Ben built the porch railing himself! It's the neatest house.
