Gulf Islands Secondary, on the Gym roof
84 solar panels will soon cover this roof.
Note the flat panels: two sheets of tempered glass with the solar voltaic cell layer in between. A svelte solar sandwich.

A few recent photos illustrate how the solar array is being constructed:
Last Friday saw the first frost of the season at the marinas and docks in Ganges. And the beginnings of a low layer of fog (caused by the difference between sea and air temperatures) over the water. For the next month or so, the sun rises straight into Ganges harbour making early winter mornings very special.

The last rays of sunlight paint Fernwood Pier as a strong wind churns Trincomali Channel.

A fabulously dark and foggy morning at Ganges Marina on Salt Spring Island.
Rows of autumn colour in this Salt Spring vineyard.
Earlier in the year we saw this vineyard from the summit of Mount Maxwell. It’s in the bottom left corner on this page.

I’m not sure if this guy is a scarecrow or a sprinkler. Anyone know?
He is, of course, outstanding in his field.
I believe we’re looking at, from foreground to background: South Pender Island (Pender Bluffs and the entrance to Bedwell Harbour), Saturna Island, Bellingham area in Washington State and Mount Baker.
This uncropped photo was taken from Mount Tuam on Salt Spring Island with a telephoto lens.
