I looked out my window this morning and saw the red in the sky. Hopped over the back fence and walked to the clearing and took this shot. Photo taken from the University of Washington property on San Juan Island. You can see the research vessel at the bottom of the photo. Views across San Juan Channel, Shaw Island to Mt. Baker

The last of a dying breed. Fished the trap off the salmon banks for over 60 years at least. The salmon banks are located off the South end of San Juan Island, from Cattle Point to Eagle Point. Incredibly productive salmon catching area. A lot of local history floating here.
