10 cm of wet snow in the higher regions of the Island last night; a smattering in Ganges. And 100 kph winds off Victoria today. Interesting weather here on Canada’s west coast.

10 cm of wet snow in the higher regions of the Island last night; a smattering in Ganges. And 100 kph winds off Victoria today. Interesting weather here on Canada’s west coast.
Wondering about the chance of a white Christmas?

The lowly pigeon shows a bit of iridescent splendour in Ganges.

A man hurries through the late fall rain away from the unofficial Saturday Market. He’s snagged the last of the carrots.

7:30 am on a foggy Ganges morning. There’s a sign that says ‘shipstones’. Which could mean ‘ship stones’, perhaps after the lovely and famous Tancook Whaler of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia area. It had ballast of beach stones that tended to rattle around a bit when the ship tacked. Or I could be all wet on this one; perhaps it means ‘ship tones’ and is a nod to the live music on the seaside patio.
Either way the brightly lit sign is a nice contrast to the ghosted masts in the background.

A sidewalk inspector surveys the scene at the crane (near the Ganges Coast Guard station) after the rain on a December afternoon.
