Deception Pass - a photo on Flickriver

Deception Pass

            First off, my appologies on my tardiness, we are on mandatory overtime and with my job I work more hours than anyone else to start with so no play time for me.  
Now, Deception!  I loved reading the story here as the great 'discoverer', George Vancouver, was fooled by this narrow channel into thinking Whidbey Island was a Peninsula and it wasn't until rowboats were sent in that they figured out that Whidbey and Fidalgo were islands.  This iconic bridge spans the two islands and is also on the nations list of historic places was built in 1935 after only one year however it's inauguration was delayed by a day due to the center span  not fitting.  They realized that the summer heat had caused expansion and so at 1 am they came back to set it, perfect fit.  :-)   Washington State says the Deception State Park is the most frequented park in the state and judging by the crowds that I saw, I'd agree.  Long way to go to photograph a bridge, but Tonia went with so it was all the better.
