Leg one: Vancouver to Victoria aboard Coastal Celebration

3:22 pm St. Mary Lake
Dramatic skies this (darkish) afternoon; lots of folks out during a break in the monsoons.
Possibly to watch the airshow.
*There might be a short break in the stream of daily photos as we venture—weather/ferries permitting—off the Island and head to the big city for a few days.
The often photographed Seahorse and I watch a late autumn sky in Ganges Harbour.
The 16 second exposure, aided by a tripod and an absence of boat wake, helps portray the tranquility of this scene.
Once we get past the current monsoon-like weather, there may be more opportunities like this. In mid-to late December the sun rises straight out the harbour and, combined with humidity and the (usually) cold weather, a golden ice fog can form over the ocean’s surface.
