A man hurries through the late fall rain away from the unofficial Saturday Market. He’s snagged the last of the carrots.
Shipstones
7:30 am on a foggy Ganges morning. There’s a sign that says ‘shipstones’. Which could mean ‘ship stones’, perhaps after the lovely and famous Tancook Whaler of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia area. It had ballast of beach stones that tended to rattle around a bit when the ship tacked. Or I could be all wet on this one; perhaps it means ‘ship tones’ and is a nod to the live music on the seaside patio.
Either way the brightly lit sign is a nice contrast to the ghosted masts in the background.
The Inspector
A sidewalk inspector surveys the scene at the crane (near the Ganges Coast Guard station) after the rain on a December afternoon.
Last Legs
This weatherbeaten chair, on its last legs, made a beachcomber’s day.
In the Light
A foggy morning in Ganges Harbour. I love changes in weather; it’s as though mother nature has given her etch-a-sketch a good shake so we can look at a familiar scene in a new light.
The light here of course is what caught my eye. I’m on the look-out these for views that have a variety of luminance values rather than a variety of colours. Normally, dense fog has a flat grey monochromatic look (which can be beautiful in its own right). The sodium vapour lamps on the dock gave a contrasty, but somewhat ugly yellow colour.
The high contract of the foreground with the low contrast background make for a lovely black and white image.
