This Hank Shubart designed home is stripped and ready for reno. It’s also for sale. On Salt Spring Island.

The unknown café on Salt Spring’s north end. It’s not really unknown as I recently found out, but it isn’t as well known as the cafés in Ganges. And that’s good and bad depending on your point of view. It’s comfy and peaceful with great coffee and fresh food. AND it’s at the foot of the Fernwood pier; the longest dock on the island and mid way along one of Salt Spring’s most popular waterfront walks. Just don’t tell anyone or The Fernwood Café may get as chaotic as the downtown cafés!
Below are photos of one of the window seats with a view of the ocean and pier, and a patron’s snack.


If you missed yesterday’s Fernwood Dock post and linked photo gallery have a look.

No sunrise on Salt Spring this morning. But it seems the Fernwood Dock area always provides a photo opportunity. Especially if you’re willing to get your feet wet.
I liked the look of these crusty rocks, but it meant wading into the chuck to get the shot. A very low ISO and very small aperture allowed for a long shutter speed. Which in turn gave the water a creamy look. And of course winter clouds are often magnificent.

A winter sunrise sets the clouds on fire as a de Havilland Beaver heads to the mainland.
