A foggy morning in Ganges Harbour. I love changes in weather; it’s as though mother nature has given her etch-a-sketch a good shake so we can look at a familiar scene in a new light.
The light here of course is what caught my eye. I’m on the look-out these for views that have a variety of luminance values rather than a variety of colours. Normally, dense fog has a flat grey monochromatic look (which can be beautiful in its own right). The sodium vapour lamps on the dock gave a contrasty, but somewhat ugly yellow colour.
The high contract of the foreground with the low contrast background make for a lovely black and white image.
Absolutely beautiful. I had fun visiting your site. But, I am not sure which Salt Springs I am viewing….BC? All the best, Lauren.
Thanks for visiting Lauren. Salt Spring Island is in British Columbia, on Canada’s south west coast. Here’s Wikipedia’s description.
John, I am often awestruck by your images, it’s true, but this one is particularly stunning, on several levels. Thank you for giving us something like this to start the day with.
Thanks Wendy, always good to hear.
I love how you’ve put it. I live near the Sound and a foggy land. I also experience those bright gray skies all too often. I love watching moving clouds though. I cherish it.
Your perspective is that of an artist.

Thank you for the lovely comment. Turns out some of us actually like a foggy morning!
Yes indeed, some of us like a foggy morning, though I can do without the rain! Nice one John.
Hi John,
Yet another image with packed with atmosphere. I’m writing a mystery thriller… this is perfect for some inspiration :) thanks.
Cheers Natascha.
Happy to help Natascha. Let me know when I can buy a copy! Where does the story take place?
