Two sources of light really. First the cool bluish light from the western moon reflected in the ocean and second, the warm light of the pre-sunrise sky on the shore. I’m sure we’ve all seen this combination before, I just can’t remember when.

Two sources of light really. First the cool bluish light from the western moon reflected in the ocean and second, the warm light of the pre-sunrise sky on the shore. I’m sure we’ve all seen this combination before, I just can’t remember when.
Photographs of Salt Spring Island and areas reachable by ferry and road (and sometimes off-road).
Leslie says
This is beautiful – the moonlight and beautiful colours of sunrise.
John Cameron says
And peaceful. The Fernwood area is wonderful in the very early morning.
This morning there was the sound of geese in the background, one of the first winter diving birds swimming under the dock, and two groups of joggers.
Paul in Powell River says
Lovely light, too good to pass taking a photo.
John Cameron says
I think the long exposure makes the water look like it has brushstrokes. And contrasts well with detail on the shoreline.
This was shot a few days ago. It may never get light today… (calm, but dark with steady rain; grow those Douglas Firs and fill those wells!)

Hi John,
Thanks for the photo. Ones like this just make me miss SSI a little more… but that’s ok :) Cheers Natascha.
John Cameron says
You’re welcome. It’s 5 degrees C and raining if that helps…
