We’re back from a two week excursion to the Kootenays.
As I catch up with Salt Spring work, please enjoy some moments from our journey.
This first image is along a twisty backroad through farms/ranches and vineyards near Vernon.

In an unprecedented move, Salt Spring Photos is heading out on the road for a couple of weeks. We’ll be back in business about September 26th.

Turf Magicians
A few years back, the high school playing fields were stunning for September’s school start. Apparently that doesn’t happen when the fields aren’t watered during the summer break. It will be interesting to see how quickly these turf magicians transform a dust bowl into green lushness.
Did you know that—in addition to the large solar array on the gym roof—there’s geothermal piping under these fields? (more details)
Lake Parking
This is what parking near St. Mary Lake looks like on a warm summer day.
Though enjoyed by many for swimming, the lake is also a water reservoir for much of Salt Spring Island.

This image goes back some years. We’re revisiting it on Salt Spring Photos because the photo graces the cover of John Grain’s new book Mod’n Lavender: Salt Spring Island in the ’60s. John hopes to do a Salt Spring Island launch of the book some time in September. Look for a Gulf Islands Driftwood article and possibly a session at the Salt Spring Library.
August 16th Update from Salt Spring Library:
Saturday, September 24, 2PM
Book Launch: Mod ‘n Lavender: Salt Spring Island in the ’60s.
Author John Grain revisits teenage life on SS in the 1960s at the Salt Spring Library.
Can’t wait? I found a link to electronic and print copies here.
Author John Grain revisits teenage life on Salt Spring Island during the 1960s. “Salt Spring Island was the hub, the focal point of the counterculture in Canada and I had missed it,” says Grain.
