Sunrise over Galiano Island as seen from Fernwood Beach on Salt Spring Island’s north end. Sunrise is sooooo early this time of year
North End Morning
Salt Spring Dawn Colours
5:38 am at Fernwood Pier
Although the sun had technically risen, from Fernwood Beach, it hadn’t yet risen above Galiano Island. So this area was still in a twilight state.

In my mind’s eye the dock railings are a bright ‘government-dock’ red. They started that way but haven’t been repainted for a few years. A closer look in daylight confirms the railings are a faded, almost pinkish-red colour now.
Low Tide Gathering
Everyone seemed happy this Sunday afternoon, and these folks were no exception. Cameron particularly enjoyed the extra attention, especially from the pretty young woman who said, “A Westie, that’s the kind of dog I want!” I could tell Cameron was ready to abandon me on the spot, and probably would have if I hadn’t produced the bag of treats… Males—dogs especially—are so transparent.
45 Degrees from Yesterday
This image was made a couple of minutes after the one presented yesterday. The camera was rotated about 45 degrees to the right, away from the light. The sky is darker, but the light from the approaching sunrise is already much stronger (and is beginning to wash out the colour in the clouds). Details on the shoreline are beginning to appear.
Morning Civil Twilight Colours
The sky colours are more intense during civil twilight* than they are after sunrise, as shown in the above photo taken from Fernwood Pier.
There’s a beam of light in the sky and reflected in the water; apparently this is called a sun pillar. And to the right, an aging condensation trail from a high flying jet.
