A man hurries through the late fall rain away from the unofficial Saturday Market. He’s snagged the last of the carrots.

7:30 am on a foggy Ganges morning. There’s a sign that says ‘shipstones’. Which could mean ‘ship stones’, perhaps after the lovely and famous Tancook Whaler of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia area. It had ballast of beach stones that tended to rattle around a bit when the ship tacked. Or I could be all wet on this one; perhaps it means ‘ship tones’ and is a nod to the live music on the seaside patio.
Either way the brightly lit sign is a nice contrast to the ghosted masts in the background.

Continuing upon yesterday’s theme, we’re decorated for the holiday season.
