300

Here I’m being very brave. I’m standing on a narrow pedestrian walkway on a bridge, cars whizzing by in the roadway next to me, staring down at the tide several hundred feet below.

This is Deception Pass, a thin channel in the Puget Sound area separating Washington’s Whidbey Island from the mainland. The tides here are intense because the water gets funneled through a small passage. It’s a beautiful and fascinating spot.

Also, this is my 300th blog post. Quite a milestone.
