Passing the Pass
I had the privilege of flying with a good friend today, enjoying the view between North Whidbey and Fidalgo islands. Deception Pass is a wonder, from any viewpoint.
Bridge event
For three minutes Saturday (okay, maybe a BIT longer), Highway 20 at Deception Pass was closed in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the twin spans. Vintage cars were part of a procession to the south side of the bridges. Presiding over a ribbon cutting were alums of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a Depression […]
Bridge 75 years old
An important anniversary in the Pacific Northwest! A post from 1985: “Today, July 31, marks the 75th anniversary of the opening of Deception Pass Bridge (1935). This photo was taken during a mid-span celebration event on the 50th Anniversary of the bridge (1985). Among those pictured is Anacortesan Wallie Funk (center, with water carafe), who […]
North Beach
Summer sunshine draws thousands to Deception Pass State Park, which includes beaches, trails and camping on Whidbey AND Fidalgo islands. This photo of North Beach was taken from the bridge.
Victoria Clipper
Cell phone and digital cameras came out as the Victoria Clipper churned under Deception Pass Bridge Sunday morning on the way to the islands.
October lights
I found myself at Deception Pass at about 7 p.m. for the second consecutive evening. Dramatically different light Wednesday night. Maybe I should return to see what Evening No. Three has to offer…
Evening light
Sunset hues had changed dramatically between the start of my drive and my arrival at Deception Pass, but it was still beautiful by the time I captured this image at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Flying high
What an awesome morning I had, passenger in a Cessna 172 out of North Whidbey Island. As has been noted, you can’t fully appreciate this gorgeous corner of the country until you’ve seen it by boat … or by air. This was a flight to remember.
Lines in water
There are times, such as a recent morning drive across Deception Pass, when I might as well be shooting in black and white. These are busy days at the state park, fishermen doing their thing from boats and shore. I heard a family story of fresh lingcod delivered to the door … I could use […]
Boating season
Between the draw of lingcod and the opening of the 2009 boating season, there was plenty of activity in recent days on local waters. This power boat passed under Deception Pass Bridge from Cornet Bay Sunday morning.
Spring kayaking
Weekend sun drew sea kayakers to Deception Pass. This photo was taken from the east side of Canoe Pass, the “Fidalgo side” of historic Deception Pass Bridge.
Kayak race
Among more than 100 kayakers involved in the Sunday morning Deception Pass Dash was this competitor, who opted to fight the elements with a seasonal Santa’s cap. The six-mile race started at Bowman’s Bay, looped around Deception Island, beneath Deception Pass Bridge, around Strawberry Island, through Canoe Pass and back to Bowman’s Bay.
