Swans at sunrise in Fulford Harbour.

Early winter afternoon view from high on southern Salt Spring Island. We’re looking over Portland and Moresby islands to the right and Pender Island (with Saturna Island behind) on the left. Mount Baker and the North Cascade Mountains are putting on a snowy show down there in the USA.
The ferry in front of Portland Island is heading for Swartz Bay (near Victoria) on Vancouver Island. And, in the foreground, the Skeena Queen is chugging along towards Fulford Harbour 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.

9:10 pm, Burgoyne Bay on Salt Spring Island
Burgoyne Bay is a BC Provincial Park established in 2004. It’s just a few bumpy minutes off the Fulford-Ganges superhighway.
During this extended clear warm weather, the setting sun produces a clean gradation of colours from purply blue through pinks, yellows and orange.

August long weekend ferry overload
Mystery:
With little to do—squashed onto the Swartz Bay to Fulford ferry—I decided to wander around to see what I could see. Had a good talk with a guy about the Toyo tires on his Tacoma, something I need on mine soonish. Then I noticed some feet sticking out of a white car (perhaps a GM of some type) reading a book.
Wait; the feet weren’t reading the book and neither was the car. Someone with green rolled up pants was reading the book with her feet sticking out the window. I headed down to the car deck to see if there might be an interesting photo. Note the position of the green ‘pressure washing’ truck.

Eight minutes later (On the way I stopped to take a funny photo of two men sleeping sitting up in their car, one with a seat belt across his face. I decided not to show you that photo). Anyway, no long distracted, I went searching for the feet. Found them. And now with a table saw jammed into the trunk and ‘secured’ with a skipping rope, yellow polly rope and some heavy duty fishing line. So, good photo I thought.
But when I loaded the images onto my computer I noticed the car was no longer beside the green truck but parked behind it, the white car was now a silver VW and the feet…well the feet look exactly the same.
