Buffaloes are my favorite animals there. It is very imressive when they start moving toward the car - the car seems so tiny then.
We preferred not to stop (as we were advised), but move slowly past them. However some people apparently enjoyed having a huge buffalo rubbing on their car.
This one was huge. And he didn't care about bread - just lay there in solemn solitude.

Olympic Wilderness is closed to logging so the trees are huge there. This one is medium sized, there are many that are far bigger.
The long stretches of ocean shores also belong to the Olympic wilderness. It is cold and windy and foggy there on the ocean shore and the shore is covered with enormous tree trunks bleached by sun and salt water.
Here is Sergey, mama and Spassky near a tree skeleton.

And finally I was very pleased to see a sculpture of cormorants in Port Angeles. These birds are grossly misunderstood and are often blamed for eating all the fish (which is usually overfished by humans) or other mischaps. But aren't they beautiful?
