Description
Here's a shot from the top of the bridge at Deception Pass. Look at the water, if it doesn't make you too queasy to look down!
Do you see how turbulent the surface of the water is? All that movement is caused by the tidal currents that rush through the narrow pass. Boaters wait for slack tide to navigate the passage. (Slack tide is when the tide changes, and it isn't rushing in either direction - it's basically as still as it ever gets.)
Boaters wait in nearby coves until it's safe to sail to the other side. The water gets running through there so fast that it creates whirlpools. This is not a good place for the novice boater!!
Denise (MrsRatbag) and Marilyn (beachzz) and I had a great time here! Loads of photo ops. :)

I suspect there's not a lot of swimming here, either LOL! You did a great job of showing the turbulence and explaining the danger. But dangerous or not, it's a very pretty place. I love the color of the water, and of course our green hills.
I can see that the water moves hard and fast here by the steepness of the cut banks. Wonderful shot!
da muß ich nicht viel schreiben: einfach wunderbar!
Wow, when did you get out on the bridge to take this shot??? Sneaky girl, you!! But, you're right, this would NOT be a great place to swim. You caught the swirling waters beautifully!!
Very nice capture!
Beautiful place and wonderful shot.
Great place to shoot great photos. Wonderful capture.
I would just sit here and enjoy the beauty of this place. Excellent shot. Aloha
An excellent shot, wouldn't care to fall in there! Gorgeous colours!
This only scratches the surface I imagine Tara, the undertow beneath is the real killer, when you think the water is going in one direction and in truth it is going in two directions. It may look inviting, but I think I will give it a miss. Excellent pov, and capture. Bravo!!!!!
Nice view:)
Impressive view. Excellent shot!
Think I'll take a pass on Deception Pass :o) ....great shot, though, Tara !
fantastic POV
Very beautiful shot! :)
Magnificent view and excellent capture!!
Stunning shot Tara and no, I wouldn't like to try my luck in those waters!!! Looks pretty angry to me!! :)
I'm OK with that shot - the rail is substantial enough! Excellently composed photograph! Mike
Beautiful capture!
Very creative and very beautiful
Great title and capture of those currents, Tara. Beautiful spot in spite of the dangers. Excellent shot.
Hi Tara May sure love staring across such a beautiful place wonderfu capture by the way your names are running together and I almost called Marilyn, Tara May sweet smile to you warm hug and love, Linda Kaye
Great shot Tara....I know how dangerous water can be....My son-in-law father jumped into a canal to save two children from drowning and he saved them, but he got sucked under. Jamie(my son-in-law) was 4 yrs. old when he died.
I have been to Deception Pass twice and this place is so beautiful. You have done a great job of showing us that beauty.
Excellent capture - did you run right back down after you shot this? It is a scary view down, that's for sure!
Another great shot from deception pass. Lokks like you girls spends some time there exploring it from top to bottom.
superb POV, excellent lighting.
that water looks tricky to say the least tara .i`m pretty much a land lubber :o)..excellent capture mick
Wonderful vista and pov, and what you have written about those currents reminds me of the same thing occuring at the entrance to the 'Golfe du Morbihan' in Brittany (France). A gorgeous capture you've taken here.
美しい風景と、美しい写真、素晴らしい！！
