Looking South to the US of A

January 6, 2015

South to the USA

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.

    What a great view and photo. It reminds me that I should visit the archipelago more often than I do.

    Hi again Stefan. I find it’s often the area where you that’s the hardest to capture.

      I think so. And not many people get to see.

      Thank you.

      It takes some planning… The time of day, the weather, B.C. Ferry timing, figuring out how to get up on a client’s roof in the snow. Many trips (an hour travelling time each visit), camera/lens/filter selection etc., until I got it right.
