Large mirrored wall display in a high end Vancouver store during the lead-up to Christmas.

Room with a view of the concrete jungle.
Not on Salt Spring, that’s for sure.

Dramatic skies this (darkish) afternoon; lots of folks out during a break in the monsoons.
Possibly to watch the airshow.
*There might be a short break in the stream of daily photos as we venture—weather/ferries permitting—off the Island and head to the big city for a few days.
The often photographed Seahorse and I watch a late autumn sky in Ganges Harbour.
The 16 second exposure, aided by a tripod and an absence of boat wake, helps portray the tranquility of this scene.
Once we get past the current monsoon-like weather, there may be more opportunities like this. In mid-to late December the sun rises straight out the harbour and, combined with humidity and the (usually) cold weather, a golden ice fog can form over the ocean’s surface.
A tug drags reluctant barges into the teeth of a building storm near Vesuvius.
The image above is a tiny piece of the original image. It’s a testament to the latest advances in digital sensors that this photo, taken in the dark from a moving platform, manages to shows details that couldn’t be seen by the eye alone.
