About a half mile off the shore of Cape Flattery in Neah Bay is Tatoosh Island which is actually a group of small islands. They are collectively under 40 acres in size and are located at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Tatoosh is owned by the Makah Tribe and historically used as a seasonal fishing camp. It’s presently unoccupied. You might be able to make out the Cape Flattery Light in this picture. It has operated on the island since December, 1857.
Researchers from the University of Washington have studied the marine ecology of these islands since the late 1960s. It is one of the most intensely studied field sites in the world because of its isolation, climate, and location. The island is home to a diverse collection of marine plants and animals.
Love your photo but I think I love the names of the sights, locations even more. Love language and these entertain me.
Beautiful
It has that figurative sense of being on the far edge of the world.
A beautiful and peaceful spot. I like all the gray… adds to the atmosphere.
Tatoosh. That is a name I have not come across before. It seems like something from a mystery novel.
Oh yes, I can see the lighthouse! I like this moody photo.
