Blue Hour at Booth Bay on Salt Spring Island

September 5, 2011

Leave a Comment

Booth Bay, Salt Spring Island

The tidal flats of Booth Bay are transformed in post-sunset light.

Musings:
Ever wonder how to get that deep blue sky, sometime after the sun goes down? That time is often called blue hour.

You meet the nicest people during blue hour. Like the guy from Manitoba who was here to take a Sirewall course (rammed earth building) and his partner who had stopped to take a photo. And the grade 12 girl who lives down the road and was just sitting on the bridge with coffee mug and camera, taking it all in.

Salt Spring, Deforested

Salt Spring Island, deforested

Some folks don’t seem to get it.

They don’t seem to understand that when building a new home, a few trees may have to come down. Did for my house and, I’m willing to bet did for your house too.

On the other hand, this area, very near the beautiful Mt. Erskine trails off Collins Road, seems a bit more than excessively deforested.

I just don’t get it.

Musings:
Thanks to the woman who volunteered to give some scale to this photo.

Normally I try to stay on the half-full side of things for the daily Salt Spring Island photo. Perhaps to a fault. So, when travelling by, half an hour after sunset, I couldn’t resist the challenge of capturing this image. Thanks to Dan for pointing out that the clearcut is clearly visible from the 300 block of Elizabeth Drive.

A Place for Everything

September 1, 2011

A Place for Everything

A red canoe happily resting in a barn along Upper Ganges Road. (yes, there is also a Lower Ganges Road on Salt Spring Island)

I notice that the red canoe has faded; why does red seem to fade so much faster that other colours?

Tomorrow’s Salt Spring photo is a bit different. Thanks Dan for the head’s up. See you tomorrow…
