Summer Ferry Crossing

The Howe Sound Queen, back from a refit, carries a full and interesting collection of folks on this summer morning crossing.

Piper in the Parking Lot

This is Piper taking a tour of Ganges.
Thanks go out to the ‘tour guide’ who said it was OK to take and show this photograph.

Kids PDF Loan Station on Salt Spring Island

There are two Personal Flotation Device Loaner Stations on Salt Spring Island.
The Gulf Island Marine Rescue Society and the Harbour Authority of Salt Spring are behind the project.
Salt Spring Island carpenter Josh Hart built the free loaner stations out of driftwood.
How cool is this?

Two Sided View

July 10, 2015

Two Sides of Fernwood Pier 2

One of Salt Spring Island’s Two-Sided Views

Lots of places have a two-sided view; we’ve seen them before in the last six years of Salt Spring Photos.

It’s easy to get ‘focused’ on what is directly in front of you. But it’s always important to take a look behind as well; in this case a couple fishing on the dock, away from the sunset, and with a fabulous pastel sky to the east.

Two Sides of Fernwood Pier 1

And, while musing, I might as well add the following:

Sunrise views are often better before the sun actually rises. And sunsets are often better after the sun sets. Yet most people, arrive for the actual sunrise and most people tend to  leave immediately after the sun sets.

The sky at sunset this day was mostly grey. A few people who came to the pier to view the sunset and take a few photos left disappointed the minute the sun set. They saw neither the beautiful west sky nor the beautiful east sky.

Float plane ventures into Wildfire Smoke

The hills and mountains look mysterious, but there’s not a lot to love about the wildfire smoke earlier this week.
This is a late morning colour photograph looking towards Active Pass; above the smoke it’s a clear blue sky (I’m told).
Here’s what this Salt Spring view normally looks like.
