Photographs of Salt Spring Island and areas reachable by ferry and road (and sometimes off-road).
Nicely framed!
Thanks. There’s always a decision to make about what not to include. Everything in this photo is deliberate.
OMG. Well done! So much better than nicely framed. Wow.
I was going for wow actually ;-)
I have other shots with a lovely reflection of the moon across the water, but decided to make Seahorse the hero by getting closer.
It was a bit tricky though as a longish exposure was necessary. Lots of people were out on that warm night and several walked but on the wooden pier. I could watch the camera bounce slightly as they went by! So, in the end, I was luck to get this frame.
WOW! LOVE it John!
Thanks!
Great Shot John !
Thanks
I never realized, when we bought this tug several years ago, that it would become such a favourite object for photographers, both amateur and professional. The nicest thing for me is that I can see the stages it has gone through over the years by viewing your photos of it. Naturally we have pictures however yours are obviously… ahem… better! As we continue to re-sand, re-drill, re-paint and restore the upper deck this summer, I look forward to your next photos.
This photo is so crisp and the colours so absolutely spot on…it is definitely one of my favourites!
Thank you for taking such an interest John.
Hi Lori, happy to continue documenting your hard work!

This is a Grand Photograph!
Both technically and aesthetically.
It has what I call a “made you look” quality. And then it makes us look again, and again.
A great photograph shows us the most powerful way is seeing something.
You are a gift,
Thank you
Hi Bill, thanks for the thoughtful comment. Certainly the challenge here was to come up something different from (what must be) thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of snapshots and photographs of the harbour and Seahorse. Especially given the average 2 second look website photos tend to get these days. Really can’t imagine looking at this on a phone. But I digress.
Thanks for taking the second and third look and for taking the time to write.
By the way, seems to me I owe you something. I’ll be in touch soon.
