Dark and Stormy

December 6, 2015

Dark and Stormy

A tug drags reluctant barges into the teeth of a building storm near Vesuvius.
The image above is a tiny piece of the original image. It’s a  testament to the latest advances in digital sensors that this photo, taken in the dark from a moving platform, manages to shows details that couldn’t be seen by the eye alone.

Along the Trail

December 5, 2015

Along the Trail

These hardy quartz faces seem to be emerging from the bordering softer rock on Lassie’s Trail near the summit (see this previous post about hiking Mount Erskine).

The fir needles scattered with wild abandon remind me what mat inside our front door looks like after a hike this time of year.

Last Ride

December 3, 2015

Last Ride

We saw this old car earlier on Salt Spring Photos. It’s condition has not improved and it looks now like it has taken its last ride.

Big Brother

November 26, 2015

Big Brother in Ganges

You might wonder at first, “What the heck is that”? I did.

It says ‘BOSCH’ on it, but I new right away it wasn’t a dishwasher.
It’s fairly high up a pole on the float plane dock in Ganges.
And by the time I wandered around the pole looking up at all the bits, I was sure there were lots of nice pictures of me somewhere. (I wonder where I can get a few copies?)

And some more pictures of me taking pictures of this picture-taking thingy.
And then I thought it might be a new high tech web cam, but there’s already a Nav Canada one at the Coast Guard station. (here)

So, really, I’m still wondering.

Blue Hour

November 9, 2015

A Salt Spring Evening View

A cloudy day, after sunset looking east.

The ambient colour of the night sky is much cooler than the man-made lighting of the home—until the sky is black.
Even on an overcast day.
And that’s why it’s sometimes called blue hour.
