Needs a Second Look

saltspring-16050927246
Taken on a recent startlingly-blue-sky-day, this photo may need a second look. There’s no skullduggery going on here, but what exactly are you seeing?

Salt Spring Dawn Colours

Fern wood's Dawn Colours
5:38 am at Fernwood Pier
Although the sun had technically risen, from Fernwood Beach, it hadn’t yet risen above Galiano Island. So this area was still in a twilight state.

In my mind’s eye the dock railings are a bright ‘government-dock’ red. They started that way but haven’t been repainted for a few years. A closer look in daylight confirms the railings are a faded, almost pinkish-red colour now.

Low Tide Gathering

Low Tide Gathering at Fernwood on Salt Spring Island
Everyone seemed happy this Sunday afternoon, and these folks were no exception. Cameron particularly enjoyed the extra attention, especially from the pretty young woman who said, “A Westie, that’s the kind of dog I want!” I could tell Cameron was ready to abandon me on the spot, and probably would have if I hadn’t produced the bag of treats… Males—dogs especially—are so transparent.

45 Degrees from Yesterday

Fernwood Morning
This image was made a couple of minutes after the one presented yesterday. The camera was rotated about 45 degrees to the right, away from the light. The sky is darker, but the light from the approaching sunrise is already much stronger (and is beginning to wash out the colour in the clouds). Details on the shoreline are beginning to appear.
