9:10 pm, Burgoyne Bay on Salt Spring Island
Burgoyne Bay is a BC Provincial Park established in 2004. It’s just a few bumpy minutes off the Fulford-Ganges superhighway.
During this extended clear warm weather, the setting sun produces a clean gradation of colours from purply blue through pinks, yellows and orange.

Info for photographers:
I blew the image below. It’s always best to get the shot ‘right’ in the camera. Not to try to ‘fix it’ in ‘photoshop’.
Leaving the market I saw the couple again; this time in the perfect shade of a vendor’s stand. I quickly raised the camera and fired off a shot forgetting that the camera’s manual settings were intended for the blinding sun. The original image was horribly underexposed, so dark that the tattoos were barely visible.
But an advanced camera sensor with excellent dynamic range and careful ‘developing’ (in software) produced the image below. Not the recommended way to go, but lovely lucky this time.
Another home for your Saturday viewing pleasure… …and another architecturally designed home with many surprising spaces and sight lines.
