Just another spectacularly colourful morning looking South-East in Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island. That floatplane, heading to Vancouver, is probably carrying some folks who want to pick up the pace a bit…

This Mute Swan was seen hanging about near Gastronomic Alley (formerly called Gasoline Alley) in Ganges. The swan seemed very used to photographers’ antics.

Horse-drawn carriage owner and operator Moray Kennedy appears to be getting quite the earful on a rainy Ganges morning. (Seconds later, several other photos in the series show the gentleman bending backward in laughter!)

Thursday morning, 7:48 am. Under the watchful eye of a resident tug, the pre-dawn glow illuminates the sea and sky. A Saltspring Air flight stops in Ganges before heading to the Vancouver seaplane terminal.
This post marks a year of Salt Spring Photos on this “new” website and almost three years of documenting the place and lifestyle of this beautiful Gulf Island.
Thanks for visiting. See you Monday, January 2, 2012.

Three more favourites from 2011. These are three of the best “in the sky” I think.
Above, the gorgeous eagle with the upswept wings and the strong diagonal composition (eagle’s work, not mine) is an obvious choice I think.

“Cloudfire” as seen out my back door one day. It’s all about changing colours.

And the third candidate: the August full moon that stole a bit of thunder from the Perseid Meter Shower.
Photographs of Salt Spring Island and areas reachable by ferry and road (and sometimes off-road).
