The Howe Sound Queen, back from a refit, carries a full and interesting collection of folks on this summer morning crossing.
In the Parking Lot
This is Piper taking a tour of Ganges.
Thanks go out to the ‘tour guide’ who said it was OK to take and show this photograph.
Two Sided View
One of Salt Spring Island’s Two-Sided Views
Lots of places have a two-sided view; we’ve seen them before in the last six years of Salt Spring Photos.
It’s easy to get ‘focused’ on what is directly in front of you. But it’s always important to take a look behind as well; in this case a couple fishing on the dock, away from the sunset, and with a fabulous pastel sky to the east.
And, while musing, I might as well add the following:
Sunrise views are often better before the sun actually rises. And sunsets are often better after the sun sets. Yet most people, arrive for the actual sunrise and most people tend to leave immediately after the sun sets.
The sky at sunset this day was mostly grey. A few people who came to the pier to view the sunset and take a few photos left disappointed the minute the sun set. They saw neither the beautiful west sky nor the beautiful east sky.
Behind the Shed
We’ve seen this shed before, but since there’s been a major addition to the scene (artfully arranged ladder and shadow), I just had to share it with you.
River Beauty
Still cool, gorgeous and green in a nearby river. A place to be during this drought.
Can you have a drought in a temperate rainforest?
Update July 3, 11 am:
Apparently the answer is yes. It’s official:
VICTORIA – Responding to dry conditions, the Government of B.C. has announced a Level 4 drought rating for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and taken the additional action of suspending angling in streams and rivers throughout southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands due to ongoing low stream flows and warming water temperatures.
