A thick layer of fog hides the ocean entrance from Booth Bay. This is the view from the Booth Canal bridge. We’ve been here before…
Seahorse in Soft Rain
The most photographed boat in Ganges Harbour. Partly because it is so visually west coast and interesting. And partly because it’s tied up in a position that makes it part of everyone’s photos ;-)
It’s become an icon in the Harbour. It looks particularly good in the rain, in fog, and during a winter sunrise.
(searching below for seahorse or tug will find more images of this icon)
Mouat Bros. Limited
The well used waterfront storehouse of the Mouat’s building seen here on a dark and dreary—but somehow lovely—November afternoon. You can also see the storehouse in this 1928 photo at the Salt Spring Island Archives.
Wise Man
There are divided perceptions on whether this area is a road or a parking lot.
Purvis Lane—I had to look up the name—has parking areas on both sides through the downtown core.
Or, if you prefer, Purvis lane runs through the middle of two parking areas.
Or, perhaps, Purvis lane is both the entrance and the exit to the parking areas downtown!
No matter how you slice it, driving and walking in the area are challenging and no place to be using those handheld electronic devices.
In the photo above we see what is clearly a local, acutely aware that he’s taking both his and a dog’s life in his hands. He’s on foot, travelling from one parking lot, across the road and into another parking lot. Intrepid.
Evening Approach
Salt Spring Air’s de Havilland Beaver C-FZZJ makes a last-light approach into Ganges Harbour.
ZZJ looks great against the sunset-illuminated clouds.
