Dangerous Cargo

February 17, 2015

Dangerous Cargo

On the BC Ferry pier at Crofton, heading back to Salt Spring Island

The big green Shamrock Fuels truck is coming off the ferry, having taken an earlier dangerous cargo ride over to Salt Spring.
The camera’s shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the motion of  truck in the foreground, hence a blur that hints at the feeling you get as the pier shakes a bit as tons of truck parts noisily accelerate by a couple of feet away.

Meanwhile, looking back through the side mirror of my wee truck, we see someone paying at the toll booth. And there’s Rick of noofoto fame bringing his own kind of dangerous cargo back to Salt Spring (in his school bus) from a skating trip on Vancouver Island.

Seafood

Seafood

It doesn’t take too many trips on the Vesuvius-Crofton ferry to start looking around for an interesting view.

I met these two very well behaved rescue dogs from Mexico while riding the Crofton-Vesuvius ferry.

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.

Changeable

Stormy Day near Sansum Narrows

Lots of changeable weather as we transition out of fall and into our coastal version of winter.
On the ferry from Vesuvius to Crofton on Vancouver Island; a cold looking day with a large patch of blue sky and a larger group of threatening clouds.
