A thick layer of fog hides the ocean entrance from Booth Bay. This is the view from the Booth Canal bridge. We’ve been here before…
Senior Boys Volleyball North Islands 2014
Gulf Islands Secondary hosted this year’s Vancouver Island, ‘North Islands’. The local team qualified for the upcoming ‘Islands’, and have the ‘Provincials’ in their sights.
It’s tough for a small school to compete in several sports at the same time. For example, the Senior Boys also qualified for the Soccer Provincials on the weekend. And the Swimming Provincials are next weekend…
Seahorse in Soft Rain
The most photographed boat in Ganges Harbour. Partly because it is so visually west coast and interesting. And partly because it’s tied up in a position that makes it part of everyone’s photos ;-)
It’s become an icon in the Harbour. It looks particularly good in the rain, in fog, and during a winter sunrise.
(searching below for seahorse or tug will find more images of this icon)
Windy Day
Some of the SaltSpring Air crew ham it up during a sunny break at the dock Thursday. Despite the apparent shenanigans, wind gusts actually reached a serious 70 kilometers per hour on the dock. Only one umbrella was harmed (but was later revived).
The mascots were comfortably disinterested in the whole thing.
Mouat Bros. Limited
The well used waterfront storehouse of the Mouat’s building seen here on a dark and dreary—but somehow lovely—November afternoon. You can also see the storehouse in this 1928 photo at the Salt Spring Island Archives.
Detour
A path through the woods used to go straight through here. But a large fir fell in a windstorm and, over a few years, became a still life where the sun plays over wet vegetation.
Now we stop, look, then travel the detour.
Wise Man
There are divided perceptions on whether this area is a road or a parking lot.
Purvis Lane—I had to look up the name—has parking areas on both sides through the downtown core.
Or, if you prefer, Purvis lane runs through the middle of two parking areas.
Or, perhaps, Purvis lane is both the entrance and the exit to the parking areas downtown!
No matter how you slice it, driving and walking in the area are challenging and no place to be using those handheld electronic devices.
In the photo above we see what is clearly a local, acutely aware that he’s taking both his and a dog’s life in his hands. He’s on foot, travelling from one parking lot, across the road and into another parking lot. Intrepid.
