Gulf Island Secondary School (GISS) on Salt Spring Island
‘CLOSED’ seems a bit harsh. Lots goes on behind the scenes in a school district during the summer. But I’ve not seen the playing fields so brown—ever. Perhaps it’s just the the fields that are closed.
A delightful Saturday sunset as seen from Fernwood Pier on the north end of Salt Spring Island
This is a great place to get a reprieve from the unusual late day heat, particularly with a north-west breeze.
Inland on the west-facing rock the thermometer read 31 degrees. But it was goose-bump/chicken-skin weather watching the sunset.
This view is from the back side of Old Baldy Mountain looking west over the southern half of Shawnigan lake. We’re not at the top yet and this flat spot is a great place to take a photo (aka stopping to catch your breath) as the hike is a steep one. The main vista, from the top is east over the Gulf Islands.
Even though there’s normally a lot more water in this river at this time of year, it’s still a great place to cool off on a hot day. There are interesting rocks to explore, some deep pools and some shady areas.
We finally ordered our own prints. They arrived yesterday so I got them on the wall and grabbed a quick iPhone photo.
These two form a stunning diptych; a view from Mount Tuam. The full set contains four images and currently resides on a client’s wall in Edmonton. But in our compact home I felt the middle two prints work best. And it was the only place where we had four feet of clear wall space.
The images were converted to black and white and printed on a true black and white, glossy archival paper. The print was then flush mounted on aluminum Dibond backing and sprayed with a protective matte finish. The finished product is clean, very light and simple to hang.
Unfortunately you just can’t get the true impression of the detail present, but the two images below might help (particularly if you are viewing on a ‘retina’ display — a modern high resolution screen) as this website now serves up higher resolution images if it detects an applicable display.
This set of two is available in any size to fit your space. Contact me if you are interested.
