Final Photo Post of 2011

Float Plane and Tug in Ganges, BC

Thursday morning, 7:48 am. Under the watchful eye of a resident tug, the pre-dawn glow illuminates the sea and sky. A Saltspring Air flight stops in Ganges before heading to the Vancouver seaplane terminal.

This post marks a year of Salt Spring Photos on this “new” website and almost three years of documenting the place and lifestyle of this beautiful Gulf Island.

Thanks for visiting. See you Monday, January 2, 2012.

Three in the Sky

December 29, 2011

Salt Spring Eagle
Three more favourites from 2011. These are three of the best “in the sky” I think.

Above, the gorgeous eagle with the upswept wings and the strong diagonal composition (eagle’s work, not mine) is an obvious choice I think.

Cloudfire
“Cloudfire” as seen out my back door one day. It’s all about changing colours.

Full moon in Ganges
And the third candidate: the August full moon that stole a bit of thunder from the Perseid Meter Shower.

Looking Back

December 28, 2011

Looking Back

Looking Back 2

Looking Back 3

These three images are more favourites from 2011. In each image the people within are looking back. And each image has a story to tell.

I don’t do a lot of “street photography”, but if I ever actually retire, I think I will.

(yesterday, one person’s 12 favourite images from 2011 on SaltSpringPhotos.com were presented; that’s how we got here today…)

Tessa’s Top 12 from 2011

December 27, 2011

There was a lot of laughter from the first child when I told her I’d narrowed down my top 60 favourites from the 2011 Salt Spring Photos of the Day.

Apparently top ten is a better choice.

After some tough bargaining to show who’s boss, I got the count up from 10 to 12, but she would get to choose the ten. Hmmm… I’ve never been on a bargaining committee. And it shows.

At least I got to slip in one of my favourites — the night storm photo at the top of the page for a nice even ‘baker’s dozen’.

Quiet Reflection in Ganges Harbour

A fitting photo to start off the week of reflecting on the past year.

Two large prints of this image will be hanging on Calgary walls this week.
