I watched as the fog rolled through the Fulford valley, rising up the hills and ‘disappearing the trees’.
Bonus: Yes there is still some snow and frost at the summit of Mount Maxwell:
This is the Salt Spring Island equivalent of ‘Snow Pack’. Here today gone tomorrow. The good news however is that the Vancouver Island snow pack has rebounded to 100% of normal, half way through the snow season.
10:30 a.m. Mount Maxwell Lookout
Low cloud in Ganges, thick fog on lower Mount Maxwell but clear blue skies on top. There was a temperature inversion at the summit, rendering my winter clothes redundant. In this photo we’re looking northward across the giant fog pillows to Vancouver Island.
4:10 p.m Tech and Dress Rehearsal for The Phantom Tollbooth
During one scene in the show several performers used a phone to provide individual light. Clever, effective and captivating.
The Acting 11/12 class at Gulf Islands Secondary presents its sharp-witted-end-of-semester show tonight (Wednesday) through Friday at ArtSpring Theatre, 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10.
Here’s the press release:
GISS DRAMA PRESENTS THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH
Embark on a magical adventure with The Phantom Tollbooth, adapted for the stage by Gulf Islands Secondary School grades 11/12 acting students.
The Phantom Tollbooth is a story about a boy named Milo, who can never work out what to do with himself. One day, a magical tollbooth suddenly appears in his bedroom and transports him into a land much different from his own. There he meets a cast of quirky characters such as the Whether Man, the Humbug, the Dodecahedron, King Azaz, and the Mathemagician. Milo is accompanied by his trusty automobile and dog named Tock as he goes on a journey to rescue two Princesses and return peace to the Kingdom of Knowledge.
7:55 a.m. seen from the Ganges Aerodrome
Flying towards the sun (but later making a left turn for Vancouver) a full reconditioned Harbour Air deHavilland Beaver, flown by Salt Spring Air’s chief pilot, owns the sky.
The locals looked good on the court. But not as good on the scoreboard. Next time…
