Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
Overcast, light showers, grey, fog patches, dark. The shortest day of the year was, as far as I could tell, short on pretty.
And I’m hoping this dull monochrome image portrayed the day well.
Still holding out hope for a glimpse of the rare Christmas full moon…
This is the Booth Canal area during the high ‘winter’ tides.
Saw this small herd of deer grazing in a forest on our Salt Spring dining room table and thought it might make a seasonal Sunday still life.

There’s plenty of ‘off-island’ travel during the pre-holiday season to and from Salt Spring Island. So Salt Springer’s get to spend ample time at BC Ferry terminals taking in the nearby sights. Two ships were loading while I was waiting in line, the Star Kirkenes, registered in Bergen, Norway and the Yunnan, registered in Hong Kong. It’s easy to look these up on the Internet to find out information about the vessels and to track their current locations.

So here we are getting distracted on a real estate shoot and looking over this mystery car in bay number one of a three car garage. Beyond there’s a crushed rock parking lot a fabulous home with a 180 degree view of Salt Spring (including Ganges), the ocean, outer Gulf Islands, Georgia Strait, the North and West Vancouver hillsides and the snow covered coastal mountains beyond.
Any car buffs out there? What’s the car?
I’m sure it’s not the Batmobile…
While you’re mulling that over, here’s a look thorough a longish lens. Taken from a deck on the view side of the house.
