Shipwreck Day treasures

> It’s a giant garage sale, with a vendor or two thrown in. Anacortes residents know this annual event as Shipwreck Day, an opportunity not only to score on some great deals, but to experience some great people-watching. This boxload of wooden pulleys caught my eye. I took the shot, then converted it to “art” by utilizing the watercolor tool in Photoshop. Other photos included wooden plugs (salmon fishing gear) and beat up old tools. Next on the agenda for large community events is the Arts Festival, August 7-9. Lots of people, lots of great Northwest art.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
