6:15 a.m Fernwood Pier
A fish boat seems to be catching a few extra winks this morning.
There’s a Theme
Car traffic attempts to get to Ganges from the north while two optimistic travellers await the bus. Meanwhile bikers prepare for a Salt Spring ascent.
The famously clogged parking lot that has a road through its middle.
There’s the bus that the folks in the top photo were waiting for. And more traffic—this time trying to get into Ganges from the south. Meanwhile workers prod the village sink hole for the lost contractor who paints the faded lines on Salt Spring’s roads.
Old School
Outside Mouat’s Home Hardware.
Yup, there’s a cord on that phone.
Creek Bed
During a recent long solo hike, I heard odd splashing sounds on the trail ahead. I surprised two large black ravens (all three of us startled…).
The ravens had somehow found water in this dry ravine.
Elk Falls
This may not look all that scary to you. But it sure was to us. What you don’t see is the deceivingly calm water hole just 20 metres upstream (there’s a sign that says no lifeguard on duty!) And the other thing you don’t see—is a very large waterfall just 10 metres downstream. There have been fatalities here.
This spring a 60 metre suspension bridge—65 metres above the canyon floor was opened to the public. Also new is a viewing platform at edge of the canyon wall. The platform provides an unimpeded view of the falls. Some snapshots below:
