The Skeena Queen burns a bunch of that increasingly expensive diesel as she leaves the Fulford Harbour terminal on a dark and damp winter day.
Winter Cruiser
A winter cruiser snuggled in at Fernwood Dock. Sunrise on Salt Spring Island.
Trincomali Channel and Galiano Island in the background.
Big Mouth Gull
Late day, low tide. Interesting gull behaviour.
The gulls would glide, five to ten metres above the ocean, then lean back sharply to deploy their air brakes. Next, they’d flip almost 180 degrees and drop head first into the metre deep water, and come up with lunch in a shell.
The bird above kindly flew close by and directly into the diffuse main light (aka late day winter sunlight) while showing off its catch.
Ganges
Another Ganges rush ‘hour’ scene.
This time a life-jacket-free man rows from a moored boat into town. And someone talks on a cell phone on the boardwalk (yes, there is cell service in Ganges, at least on the Telus/Bell network).
Meanwhile, Cape Naden sits patiently, ready to leap into action. Some pigeons flutter about. And a seagull claims the high ground.
Have you battled rush hour in Ganges?
Journey to the West
Four Gulf Islands Secondary acting students take a quick photo break during a weekend rehearsal*.
Details of their show Journey to the West are below.
Journey To The West is a Chinese classic written in the early fifteenth century, adapted and performed by our Acting 11/12 class.
Journey To The West takes place in Ancient China, and eventually takes the audience to Ancient India. We get to see Buddhist temples, small fishing villages, The Court of Heaven, and the much more. It is a play centering around the relationship of mind and body, and how one reaches their destiny.
Featuring sneaky monkeys, wise monks, greedy pigs, kind Bodhisattvas, and the Tathagatta Buddha himself, this play will leave you, perhaps, almost as enlightened as the Buddhist monks themselves! A performance you won’t want to miss!
