Random Passage

This is a random post, a Friday flashback (the 1800’s), or whatever you’d like it to be. Just a bit of a change-up from the norm at Salt Spring Photos to see if anyone notices.

Above is Random Passage. Or, more accurately part of the movie set of Random Passage at New Bonaventure near Trinity, Newfoundland. Pretty much as far away from Salt Spring as possible while still in Canada.

Wikipedia says,

Random Passage is a 1992 novel by Newfoundland author Bernice Morgan… It is a historical novel about the inhabitants of Cape Random, a small outport where survival was dependent on catching and selling fish in exchange for supplies. It is set in colonial Newfoundland, over the span of many years.

The TV set was made for a mini-series in 2002.

We visited the area in 2005 and grabbed a few photos while out expanding our cultural knowledge of this country.

Last Ride

Last Ride

We saw this old car earlier on Salt Spring Photos. It’s condition has not improved and it looks now like it has taken its last ride.

Gulf Islands Secondary School

December 2, 2015

Gulf Islands Secondary School Construction

Construction of the 89 000 square foot (8279 square-metre) Gulf Islands Secondary School began in May, 1992 with a project cost of just over 13 million dollars. The school opened in September 1994 with 678 students in grades 8 through 12. Salt Spring Middle School opened the following year in the old high school with students from grades 6 through 8, leaving GISS with grades 9 through 12.

At the time of opening, GISS was one of only a handful of buildings in British Columbia with ‘ground source’ heat; 20 kilometres of pipe collected heat five feet under the playing fields. And another 40 kilometres of pipe in the school’s floors provided radiant heat. The trend continues as the school now sports a huge solar array on the gym roof.

Frozen

Rainbow Road Pool

The Rainbow Road Pool and slightly frozen pond. And that’s the end of the November freeze, the clear blue skies and the frosty mornings.

Under the Radar

A pair of Wigeons skim the ocean’s surface on a spectacular, sunny day.

A good day for ducks.
