Summer in Ganges Harbour

August 12, 2016

Summer in Ganges Harbour
It’s like this in Ganges Harbour during the summer.

Here’s the story of what’s happened so far in this shot:

1. The Gulf Islands Water Taxi Scholarship (large aluminum boat; middle right) attempting to return to it’s dock space stopped to wait for the large sailboat to slowly complete it’s turn and leave (there was no room for the sailboat to tie up).

2. An inflatable dinghy cuts right across Scholarship’s bow, causing Scholarship to stop and reverse. (the dinghy will soon discover the dinghy dock is full)

3. A small runabout, seeing Scholarship stopped in the middle of the entrance decides to barge through too, pretty much in front of the sailboat now trying to escape the area.

Totems
Not ready to fall down just yet, thank-you very much
Striking totem-like trees stand tall behind the coastal spruce fringe.

Conflict

July 7, 2016

Conflict
Fresh out of the studio, another piece by Peter McFarlane. You may remember that among other artistic endeavours, Peter creates sculptures from repurposed materials. And sometimes his work makes a statement of the conflict between wild animals and man.

Coincidently, while picking up his work today he mentioned his ongoing battle involving the deer who somehow continue to find their way past his defences to happily forage in his garden… sounds like Salt Spring Island.
