Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
Early winter afternoon view from high on southern Salt Spring Island. We’re looking over Portland and Moresby islands to the right and Pender Island (with Saturna Island behind) on the left. Mount Baker and the North Cascade Mountains are putting on a snowy show down there in the USA.
The ferry in front of Portland Island is heading for Swartz Bay (near Victoria) on Vancouver Island. And, in the foreground, the Skeena Queen is chugging along towards Fulford Harbour on Salt Spring Island.
As seen on our morning dog-walk route. Low cloud or fog was rolling up the hillside and, as the sun peeked out from behind a cloud, the rays appeared. It was all over in a matter of seconds.
This photo was taken with an iPhone 6. The easy ‘touch interface’ of the iPhone made the shot possible. Odd that digital cameras have yet to implement such a quick and easy interface. (so far only the Leica T gives us this glimpse into the future of the camera interface)
Here’s a pond along the the side of the Mount Maxwell road seen during the last ‘cold’ spell. Hopefully we’ll see more of that soon!
Duck Race on a dark and rainy Afternoon, St. Mary Lake
Like a sailing race, the leader does not get bogged down with rules; it’s often much messier deeper in the paddling*.
*collective noun for a group of ducks in the water.
