East Point, So Close but So Far

East Point, Saturna Island, BC

Saturna Island is one of my favourite getaway spots. It’s only 15 miles from Salt Spring but can be a very long and convoluted way via ferry. As in four or five hours.

And East Point is a wonderful place to explore, especially in the early morning and in the evening when you may be the only one there. On this recent morning, I was getting in one more photo walk along the shore before heading back to the ferry terminal for the 10:20 am boat to Swartz Bay.

Come back tomorrow for two more sandstone sculpture images from this shoreline.

    A most curious composition.

      When creating the photo, I saw the two triangles: the blue sky and the beige sandstone. There’s an odd sandstone shape (like a breaking wave?) pointing at the subject—the building. The building gets attention in the image because of it’s position and because it so white. Zooming in a bit reveals the ocean on the left, two people at the building, a treelike behind, and a bird flying over the breaking wave.
