Fernwood Café on Salt Spring Island

Fernwood Café photo by John Cameron

The unknown café on Salt Spring’s north end. It’s not really unknown as I recently found out, but it isn’t as well known as the cafés in Ganges. And that’s good and bad depending on your point of view. It’s comfy and peaceful with great coffee and fresh food. AND it’s at the foot of the Fernwood pier; the longest dock on the island and mid way along one of Salt Spring’s most popular waterfront walks. Just don’t tell anyone or The Fernwood Café may get as chaotic as the downtown cafés!

Below are photos of one of the window seats with a view of the ocean and pier, and a patron’s snack.

Fernwood Dock on Salt Spring Island

No sunrise on Salt Spring this morning. But it seems the Fernwood Dock area always provides a photo opportunity. Especially if you’re willing to get your feet wet.

I liked the look of these crusty rocks, but it meant wading into the chuck to get the shot. A very low ISO and very small aperture allowed for a long shutter speed. Which in turn gave the water a creamy look. And of course winter clouds are often magnificent.

Ominous Salt Spring Sky

The dawn sky started off clear with some dark clouds to the East and North. Within an hour, the view from the Fernwood area towards Archive Pass changed dramatically. Another hour would bring snow.

Lots of oohs and aahs from parents and grandparents when the little ones take the stage during the annual Christmas concert.
