Anacortes is located on Fidalgo Island, in the Pacific Northwest. For photographers it is a convenient central location to photograph the Northern Cascades, Mts. Baker and Shuksan, Fidalgo Island, Deception Point and the San Juan Islands. We spent a month camped in a magical forest, enjoyed very cool and often foggy weather, took the ferry to San Juan Island, and enjoyed multiple drives to the mountains.

There is a lot of agriculture on and off the island..

Photos from the passenger’s seat always give a flavor of the place. Here we GO!
