Waiting for the Sun

Early fall morning at Fernwood Dock.
Mountain Lake

This is a view I hadn’t seen before today. I’m guessing that’s true for a lot of people.
While riding shotgun with Phil from SaltSpring Air I couldn’t place this mountain lake. I mean it’s a big lake only a few seconds away (at 100 mph) from Mount Erskine. And it’s obviously on fairly flat terrain but seemingly perched near a huge drop-off to the ocean. Then it dawned on me that the farm in the foreground must be Foxglove Farm…on the mostly steep and lumpy road to…Mount Maxwell.
Mount Maxwell Lake is home to the best piped water on Salt Spring Island. Although it’s a protected watershed located on private property, I hear it’s frequented by swimmers, sometimes sans swimsuits. Don’t know. Never been there.
Surprise Fog

Bright sunshine bathed the north end of Salt Spring this morning — right up to the edge of Ganges. The harbour was pea soup as boats like Seahorse, slipped in and out of view. (doing a search for seahorse in the box above should find a couple more images of this resident boat)
Downtown Ganges was bathed in a thick fog at 8am while the intrepid Saturday Market vendors set up. The produce however, ‘popped’ in the diffused morning light.

Mount Tuam Sunset

Back up Mount Tuam on the south end of the Island for a quick grab of the late summer, evening view.
