Washington State - Whale Watching Outpost at Lime Kiln Lighthouse

 

Decided to stop and see the Lime Kiln Lighthouse as we were making our way around the island by car.  This spot was famous for more than that, though.  Evidently this and other rock outcroppings nearby are good vantage points from which to watch whales as they migrated through the straight.  I never cared too much about watching whales, so focused on the structure as a subject while zeroing in on those who do care about watching whales:

Couldn't help but think of this pic, captured in Athens back in 2009, as it also features a crowd of people sitting on a rock to watch something...in this case a sunset:
