Autumn Sunrise

Autumn Sunrise on Salt Spring Island

We’re approaching the time of year when the very best sunrise vistas are seen out Ganges Harbour. Soon the sun will rise directly out the harbour, and this combined with a drop in temperatures creates some fabulous views.

Sometimes when the temperature drops an extra degree or two, just before sunrise, a shallow layer of mist develops at sea level. The early light turns both the sky and the mist a glorious gold.

But that’s not usually until mid to late December. For now we have to be satisfied with this.

    Wow, John! There are so many wonderful sunrise & sunset photos in the world it’s hard to get me to say “wow” to another one, but this is something very special. Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your fabulous photos. Its a treat I look forward to every day. Cheers, Silk

      I agree, there seem to be a never ending supply of sunrise and especially sunset photos. Normally not my favourite, but the challenge to capture something different is somehow more special when it’s in your own back yard.

      Thank you Silk.
