We visited Winthrop, WA after spending the morning driving the North Cascades Hwy, and drove to Lake Chelan to spend the night.  After lunch at Winthrop, we visited the Shafer Museum.
I used my Fuji S6000fd camera on a monopod to capture these pictures.   The monopod helps get sharper images than hand-holding the camera... it is becoming my habit now.
