Groundwork

Groundwork
I spotted this art piece while waiting for my Salt Spring Salads*.

We’re looking down at Diana Lynn Thompson’s Groundwork, part of her LANDART collection on display outside Mahon Hall.

If your computing device allows you to zoom in a bit you’ll find lots of man-made items ‘hidden’ in the various areas of the piece.

*Operated by the GISS culinary/cafeteria program, this food truck (between Mahon Hall and the School Board Office) is home to the best super fresh, meal size ($9) salads on Salt Spring! Open from 11:30 to 3:45. The proceeds provide jobs for cafeteria students working at the food truck during the summer—and anything left over goes back into the program to help make it even better!

Summer in Ganges Harbour

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.
