A view of Deception Pass.

Deception Pass Bridge, connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island, a popular spot for photographers looking to capture the beauty of the Puget Sound, was a Public Works Administration project built by young workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps. Completion of the bridge allowed the United States Navy to build Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and helped Oak Harbor, Washington flourish.

  

History

In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, master of the HMS Discovery and Captain Vancouver's chief navigator, sailed through the narrow passage that is now called Deception Pass and proved that it was not really a small bay as charted by the Spaniards (hence the name "Deception"), but a deep and turbulent channel that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Saratoga Passage, which separates the mainland from what they believed was a peninsula (actually Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island).

 

In the early years of the 20th Century, travelers of the horse-and-buggy era used an unscheduled ferry to cross from Fidalgo Island to Whidbey Island. To call the ferry, they banged a saw with a mallet and then sat back to wait.

 

The bridge, one of the scenic wonders of the Pacific Northwest, is actually two spans, one over Canoe Pass to the north, and another over Deception Pass to the south. Construction began in August 1934, and the completed bridge was dedicated at noon on July 31, 1935. The Wallace Bridge and Structural Co. of Seattle, Washington provided 460 tons of steel for the 511-foot Canoe Pass arch and 1130 tons for the 976-foot Deception Pass span. The cost of construction was $482,000.

 

In 1982, the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

 

It cost more to paint the spans in 1983 than it did to build them in 1935. They were painted again in 1997.

Exquisitely soft to look and exceptionally crisp to touch, the paper flower is a deception as it invitingly stretches out its petals.

Camouflage is a form of deception. The word camouflage comes from the French word camoufler meaning "to disguise."

Weekend at Deception Pass

After Catching this train in Skykomish we rush over to Deception to catch it going through one of the many rock cuts along the pass.

Day 19

Taken at Latitude/Longitude:-21.404913/23.803036. km (Map link)

I thought I'd ride out to Deception Bay this morning. To make it interesting I cut through North Lakes, and found a couple of dirt tracks at end of Discovery Drive, North Lakes, which helped me get there from the South-West without having to navigate some of the major roads in the area.

 

It's Australia Day today and at the waterfront, all the BBQ's and picnic tables were taken - even at 9am. I'm not surprised because it's very pretty, with great views to Scarborough, Moreton Island and Bribie Island.

 

Deception Bay was initially named PUmicestone River" by John Oxley in 1823. When he realized it wasn't actually a river, he named it "Deception Bay" instead.

 

Poor John Oxley had more than his share of "deception" in this area - being led up the North Pine River by shipwrecked convicts Finnegan and Pamphlett, who told him it was the Brisbane River. When he realized it wasn't the Brisbane River, he named it "Deception River", but "North Pine" river eventually stuck because of all of the Hoop Pines that grew along the river's banks.

It's hard for me to help when all you ever show is your best parts

You are not alone in this <3

  

I know this is nothing great, but its just a quick photo before i go back to school and have no time. I'm sorry I'm so distant from you these days flickr.

ANYWAYS! The concept of this photo means a lot to me. It is about people hiding the things that are really bothering them or how they are actually feeling inside from everyone, and not seeking the help that they deserve or need. No one should have to deal with huge, scary, or depressing issues on there own. But its hard to help these people when you don't even know these problems are there.

Dusk over Deception Bay 6th July 2013

One of the smaller volcanoes at Deception Island, this one last blew ~50 years ago - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Island. The volcano's still active, and the waters of Deception Bay are both a safe harbor for ships in times of Antarctic storms (when the volcano's not erupting, that is), and also a place where visitors can swim, since the waters near the shoreline are warm from all the volcanic activity underneath.
