Salt Spring Library at Moonset

March 29, 2016

Salt Spring Library at Moonset

Looks like the local library has gone another step in an effort to protect the public and discourage skateboarders from riding the concrete retaining walls and metal handrails. That’s a new custom fence (on the left above the steps) which curves around the concrete planters. Before the fence was there, it was possible to walk or skate along the planter walls. And it was easy to topple ten feet or more to the bottom of a flight of concrete steps against the building.

Last Light at Fernwood

March 28, 2016

Last Light at Fernwood

The last bits of light last night. The colour was strong but only for about a minute (and was missed by the folks who left 10 minutes early :-) then became quite dark with dull greys a couple of minutes later. So the first three and the last two (30 second) exposures were recycled.

In case you are wondering:
Was it really this colour? Yes. (depending on what your monitor is showing you)
Was it really this dark? Yes. (we used a flashlight getting off the beach)
Why do the water and sky look ‘dreamy’? It’s a 30 sec. exposure; the clouds and water are moving so those areas look (intentionally) soft.

Gulf Islands Morning

March 27, 2016

Gulf Islands Morning

This photograph could be titled ‘Waiting for the sunrise which didn’t happen’. Well, it did slowly get brighter, but there was no blast of colour in the clouds. It was however, an unusually tranquil morning; virtually silent with no road, water or air traffic. Lovely.

Spring Sky Too

This photo was taken only a few minutes after yesterday’s sky image. Spring’s changeable weather.

Salt Spring Island Spring Sky

Salt Spring Island Spring Sky

What a great changing spring sky yesterday afternoon about five o’clock. Within minutes, we had blue sky, then a full rainbow, then the sky pictured above, then an ominous dark sky.
