  • The ferry landing at Friday Harbor on San Juan island
    FridayHarborFerry1.jpg
  • The Lime Kiln light, a name derived from the lime kilns built nearby in the 1860s, was first established in 1914. It was the last major light established in Washington. The lighthouse was updated five years later with a 38-foot octagonal concrete tower rising from the fog signal building. A fourth-order Fresnel lens was first exhibited from the new tower on June 30, 1919. The Coast Guard automated the Lime Kiln Lighthouse in August 1962, using photoelectric cells to turn the light on at dusk and off during daylight hours. In 1998, the drum lens was replaced with a modern optic, flashing a white light once every 10 seconds. Sitting on the rocky shoreline at a height of 55 feet, the beacon is visible for 17 miles.

  • Roche Harbor is a sheltered harbor on the northwest side of San Juan Island in San Juan County, Washington, United States, and the site of a resort of the same name. Roche Harbor sits along Haro Strait and Canada – United States border. The harbor itself provides one of the better protected anchorages in the islands. The harbor is surrounded on the east side by San Juan Island, on the north side by Pearl Island, and on the west and south sides by Henry Island. Most of the harbor is 35 to 45 feet (11 to 14 meters) deep. Roche Harbor has a small airport used primarily by local residents.

  • Originally founded in 1716 in eastern Texas, Mission San Juan was transferred in 1731 to its present location. In 1756, the stone church, a friary, and a granary were completed. A larger church was begun, but was abandoned when half complete, the result of population decline.<br />
<br />
San Juan was a self-sustaining community. Within the compound, Indian artisans produced iron tools, cloth, and prepared hides. Orchards and gardens outside the walls provided melons, pumpkins, grapes, and peppers. Beyond the mission complex Indian farmers cultivated maize (corn), beans, squash, sweet potatoes, and sugar cane in irrigated fields. Over 20 miles southeast of Mission San Juan was Rancho de Pataguilla, which, in 1762, reported 3,500 sheep and nearly as many cattle.<br />
These products helped support not only the San Antonio missions, but also the local settlements and presidial garrisons in the area. By the mid 1700s, San Juan, with its rich farm and pasturelands, was a regional supplier of agricultural produce. With its surplus, San Juan established a trade network stretching east to Louisiana and south to Coahuila, Mexico. This thriving economy helped the mission to survive epidemics and Indian attacks in its final years.

  • The sun rises behind Mount Baker as seen from the top of <br />
Mount Constitution on Orcas Island.  Captured with a Canon <br />
EOS-3 and the Canon EF 20-70/2.8L lens on Fujichrome Velvia 50.<br />
.....<br />
During this visit to the San Juan Islands I was staying in a<br />
Bed and Breakfast in Eastsound, the largest population center<br />
on Orcas Island.  I made the drive up to the top of Mount<br />
Constitution before sunrise, but the gate was closed so I<br />
had to wait until the park ranger opened it right at sunrise.<br />
When I arrived at the summit I saw this scene and scrambled to<br />
quickly get my equipment set up on my tripod before the sun<br />
was too high in the sky.<br />
.....<br />
Mount Constitution is a mountain on Orcas Island, and the <br />
highest point in the San Juan Islands. A stone observation <br />
tower patterned after a medieval watch tower stands at the <br />
summit. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. <br />
The tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding islands, <br />
the Cascade Mountains, and many Canadian and American cities. <br />
On a clear day, the view encompasses locations as diverse as <br />
Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Saturna Island, and the cities <br />
of Vancouver, and Victoria, British Columbia. Mount Constitution <br />
lies within the 5,000 acres (20.2 km2) Moran State Park.<br />
The prominence was named by Charles Wilkes during the Wilkes <br />
Expedition of 1838-1842 for the USS Constitution.
