That’s one of the dormant aerators on St. Mary Lake. Meanwhile some mixing of air and water was going on above the surface.
How big are the aerators? This big:
(they were assembled in May 2011, in the parking lot of Community Gospel Chapel, and hoisted over to the lake by a massive helicopter)
Two for the price of one today. The photo above is from the Long Harbour ferry on the pyjama boat, no-stop-run looking towards Prevost Island and the soon-to-rise sun. A crisp, clear and stunning morning. Enjoyed outside by one crew member (anchor watch) and myself. And possibly the folks sipping their lattes inside the boat. We were heading to Vancouver. (Tsawwassen terminal).
The photo below is taken coming back aboard the Coastal Celebration (to Victoria (Swartz Bay) well after the sun dropped behind us.
Spectacular last day of February. Apparently February in these parts was one the warmest on record.
Meanwhile according to CBC onTwitter,”Toronto has endured coldest February since mid-1930s. Temperature in city not above freezing for 36 days.”
Salt Spring Island has interesting rock formations on several beaches. Rock on one side, Eagles and ocean and mountains on the other. Sort of a gallery walk…
Three images which show part of the view from a south Salt Spring ‘cottage’ were commissioned last fall and will soon hang in the client’s home.
The images will be printed in high resolution black and white, likely 24 x 16 inches each, and mounted on aluminum (as imagined above) for a crisp aesthetic as the dominant feature of a main living area.
A fourth image (also part of the view), taken just after sunset with Swartz Bay and Sidney in the foreground and extending to Mount Rainier, was also provided.
(here is the center image, quickly converted to black and white)
On a somewhat related note:
Congratulations to a pair of daily viewers from the Seattle area who have recently hung a beautifully framed, limited edition print of ‘Sunrise Swans’ in their lovely home. Thanks for supporting SaltSpringPhotos.com!
I popped by Florence Roberge’s a couple of days ago and saw a ‘head and shoulders’ portrait of a chicken.
It was 5 or 6 feet tall!
I really liked the ‘quick sketch’ as is and took the above snapshot.
I thought this was a great finished piece. The huge scale was amazing and the black and white ‘sketch’ would look great in a lot of places.
Yesterday I was by again on business and grabbed another snapshot (below) of the same piece. Quite the transformation.
I don’t believe it’s spoken for yet. If you’ve got just the right spot, give Florence a shout (website)!
