A dense underwater weed bed takes on the appearance of reflected foliage of a large pine overhanging the lake bank. The underwater foliage is as healthy and varied as that on the shore. Water clarity can be up to 20+ feet. Nice to look down as well as up...
Connecting the mainland of Washington State to Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound...a beautiful area. The tides can really rip through this narrow passage...

Once again I finally got to Deception pass and the fog was back again. lol but made for a cool landscape
Looking across Deception Pass through the underside of the bridge. The bridge connects Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island in Washington State.
Deception Pass is a dramatic seascape where the tidal flow and whirlpools beneath the twin bridges connecting Fidalgo Island to Whidbey Island move quickly. During ebb and flood tide current speed reaches about 8 knots (9.2 mph), flowing in opposite directions between ebb and flood. We watched the sail boats under the bridge waiting for the current to change direction before going through.
The flank of Mount Baker is barely visible in the background behind the bridge.
Happy weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

The bridge over Deception Pass connects Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands in the Puget Sound. This photograph is in color with no post processing adjustments; the monochromatic effect is due to the fog and the light.

14.1.2020, Deception Island, Telefon Bay, Antarctica
Telefon Bay is a small bay on the north-west coast of Port Foster, Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It is surmounted by Telefon Ridge. The name appears on the chart of the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908–10.
The bay forms part of an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA 140), comprising several separate sites on Deception Island, and designated as such primarily for its botanic and ecological values.[2]
Deception Island is an island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, with the safest harbours in Antarctica.[4] This island is the caldera of an active volcano, which seriously damaged local scientific stations in 1967 and 1969. The island previously held a whaling station; it is now a tourist destination and scientific outpost, with Argentine and Spanish research bases. While various countries have asserted sovereignty, it is still administered under the Antarctic Treaty System.
This massive bridge spans Deception Pass connecting Fidalgo Island with Whidbey Island. We, along with a large old piece of driftwood, were deep in the shadows on the beach.

My original post of this photo was a crappy shot of an interesting scene. The color original didn't do justice to either the absurdity of the sign or to the drama of the storm that was brewing over the desert. The black and white is, in my opinion, so much better.
This took a lot of extra time in post to get the exposure right. The top and left of the image was much brighter than the rest. Fortunately getting the waterfall portions in shade was perfect for the close up shots I was looking for and posted earlier.
Also, this is literally 3-5 minutes from the trailhead which is only a few minutes of Highway 2. So get on it!
May 1st and I give you a winters day or if you will the fun of infrared. This is the first spring I’ve owner an infrared camera and it really is a great time for the genre. Thin with new leaves you can still see the skeletal shape of the winter tree and those leaves are just enough to catch the light and go snow white. I’m having a lot of fun with infrared but as a medium it doesn’t glow on social media, maybe it’s the surreal that passes people by but it’s really just another way of looking at things.
This is a view of the Palouse River about 30 yards before it tumbles over the ledge at Palouse Falls State Park.
We had a great adventure in getting to this location, and getting back out again. Navi-guessing our way along dirt roads using a paper map (I am old school!), passing through unlocked gates (at the time of entry), getting our pictures then returning through the gates again. One of which was locked! Through sheer luck we managed to circumvent the locked gate and make our escape back to civilization. One for the record books!
The bridges over Canoe Pass and Deception Pass with a connection on Pass Island are collectively known as Deception Pass Bridge. Construction was completed in July, 1935. Since then the bridge has been repainted several times. It is currently undergoing a two year repair and repaint project. The containment system to catch debris can be seen on the left side. The images for this panorama were shot from the small peninsula between Lottie Bay and Canoe Pass.
Deception Island has been a favourite refuge of Antarctic shipping since the early 19th century. Sailors could check weather conditions in Bransfield Strait by scaling Neptune's Window for the view.
A view of both bridges, with Pass Island in between them.
Deception Pass Bridge stretches from the southern portion of Fidalgo Island across a turbulent waterway to the northernmost point of Whidbey Island.
They are approximately 180 feet above the water.
Tis a thrill walking the sidewalks. Big rigs are close, the bridge shakes and they create quite a blast when they go by. The views from both sides tho are stunning.
Enjoy your Sunday!
The light is a deceptively inviting golden color now. If you focus the mind enough, you can almost trick yourself to believe the numbing wind gliding across your face is a blistering hot desert gale. Who am I kidding, it’s freaking cold this morning, no way around this fact but it is beautiful, nonetheless.
Deception Falls in Washington. This is from under the rte. 2 bridge by Stevens Pass in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. #DeceptionFalls #Washington #waterfalls
"So what am I looking at?" you might be asking yourself.It's a physical graffiti sculpture by Mexican artist,Damian Ortega.It's made from iron/rebar.The sculpture is found atop of an old,historic elevated freight railway now called the Highline,a 1.45-mile linear public park built on the railway.There is a series of metal sculptures by Mr Ortega at several spots in the park.Before the park was built,the freight railway was abandoned for many years and graffiti artists would climb up there and spray paint the building side walls to make a name for themselves,literally.There were also turnstiles as well as several metal sculptures up there by an artist whose name was Revs,which have either been lost (hmm) or destroyed during the early building phase of the park in 2006.Besides the flowers you see there are over 210 species of natural plants,grasses and flowers at the park,some of which have grown on the disused tracks before the park was built and have been maintained ever since. massappeal.com/damian-ortega-revs-sculpture-high-line/ nyctheblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/where-are-thou-metal-scul...
