As you probably know by now, I love boating. Probably as much as I love photography. Sometimes I even get to combine the two.
I made this photo while boating this summer in Boundary Pass, which marks the border between Canada and the USA. The Turn Point Lighthouse marks the point where the border takes a sharp turn.

It doesn’t always look like this! This was a particularly calm and clear day when there was still quite a bit of snow on the Olympic Mountains in the background. I loved how the ocean was so smooth and soft in contrast to the rugged mountains.
Beautiful, serene photo! You almost forget there are mountains and think they are clouds! Lovely!
A truly quintessential Pacific Northwest shot, Anne! Great picture!
Love your image of Turn Point. I’m writing a first novel about the grounding of a freighter that on Turn Point that spills all its bunker fuel out into the Salish Sea. The work is intended as a wake up call to what a larger spill from a laden tanker would look like if the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline project moves forward, putting thirty laden tankers a month down Boundary Pass. I may want to use your image of the point if I can afford it. Any proceeds from this project will go to organization advocating for whales, primarily orcas. If you E-mail me Ill send a synopsis and author bio. Thanks, Dave
