Fishing a Reflection

Fishing on a Reflected St. Mary Lake

Fishing St. Mary Lake (electric motors only).
Which more than makes sense, especially when your drinking water comes from this lake. Water on this island is a huge concern, one that was highlighted in last year’s drought.

*note: for those of you who visit the site each day, there will likely be a few days without new posts. I’ll be taking the time to transition between computer systems.

Salt Spring Library at Moonset

Salt Spring Library at Moonset

Looks like the local library has gone another step in an effort to protect the public and discourage skateboarders from riding the concrete retaining walls and metal handrails. That’s a new custom fence (on the left above the steps) which curves around the concrete planters. Before the fence was there, it was possible to walk or skate along the planter walls. And it was easy to topple ten feet or more to the bottom of a flight of concrete steps against the building.

Last Light at Fernwood

Last Light at Fernwood

The last bits of light last night. The colour was strong but only for about a minute (and was missed by the folks who left 10 minutes early :-) then became quite dark with dull greys a couple of minutes later. So the first three and the last two (30 second) exposures were recycled.

In case you are wondering:
Was it really this colour? Yes. (depending on what your monitor is showing you)
Was it really this dark? Yes. (we used a flashlight getting off the beach)
Why do the water and sky look ‘dreamy’? It’s a 30 sec. exposure; the clouds and water are moving so those areas look (intentionally) soft.
