During the summer of 2017, I made a round-trip in the Northwestern part of the U.S.A. to explore the area between the coast and the desert in the states of California, Oregon and Washington.
As a photographer I like to wander around, just by myself.
I rented a Mercedes Benz Metris and started this journey in San Francisco, CA. I then drove all the way up along the coast towards the Canadian border until I ended in Mount Baker, WA.
From there, I made my way back along Walla Walla and Lake Tahoe, and then back to San Francisco.
Driving around it seemed to me that quite a few of the forests I passed are having a hard time surviving.
Most of the nights I slept in my rental car, which, after some time, became my travel companion, of course with some shortcomings…..
