Fog is fantastic.

The Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts (GISPA) class last week began what they call “collective creation”, the building together of a June performance. The large group of students and their three instructors work together (on music, dance and acting) to create original productions. GISPA is unique at the high school level and their productions are not to be missed.

Photographer’s note. This student, a dynamite dancer, is not posing for the camera; she didn’t know I was there. She’s in character and is staying in character as she moves, even when facing backstage. So a lucky shot really. (ISO 6400 35mm f1.8 1/60)

Yesterday marked three years of Salt Spring Photos. Some people do silly things on their birthday, so I thought I’d join them. This photo looks odd because it’s upside down.
Those of you with laptops and iPads are smugly turing your screens, the rest of us are testing our necks.
On with year four…

They’re out of the basement and heading for the sky.
We last visited the library on September 24, 2011.

This Hank Shubart designed home is stripped and ready for reno. It’s also for sale. On Salt Spring Island.

The unknown café on Salt Spring’s north end. It’s not really unknown as I recently found out, but it isn’t as well known as the cafés in Ganges. And that’s good and bad depending on your point of view. It’s comfy and peaceful with great coffee and fresh food. AND it’s at the foot of the Fernwood pier; the longest dock on the island and mid way along one of Salt Spring’s most popular waterfront walks. Just don’t tell anyone or The Fernwood Café may get as chaotic as the downtown cafés!
Below are photos of one of the window seats with a view of the ocean and pier, and a patron’s snack.


If you missed yesterday’s Fernwood Dock post and linked photo gallery have a look.
