A cloudy day, after sunset looking east.
The ambient colour of the night sky is much cooler than the man-made lighting of the home—until the sky is black.
Even on an overcast day.
And that’s why it’s sometimes called blue hour.
Scary Stuff in Your Backyard
It’s somewhat terrifying when an accident with fire happens in your neighbourhood in the driest year on record. Quick response by neighbours, RCMP, Salt Spring Fire, and Hydro got this fire under control before it could spread on a windy day. The fire fighters were particularly impressive; a well oiled machine. Thanks!
If you live anywhere in the Gulf Islands and needed a reminder about how dry the Islands are, you have it.
Salt Spring Cottage
Another home for your Saturday viewing pleasure… and this one stretches the 602 square foot limit for a cottage on a Salt Spring acreage with some of the building bumped out/cantilevered past the foundation (some properties, usually 5 acres or more are allowed a second dwelling with a maximum 602 sq. ft.).
In the photo above it’s just after sunset and we’re looking from outside, through the kitchen window, with dining and living beyond. That’s a two sided gas fireplace– the other side is outside on a covered patio.
Below is the morning view as seen from all the view windows (including the master bedroom).
Rammed Earth as Art
Continuing the recent run of Saturday homes, I ran into this one the other day and thought you might like a peak inside.
Room with a View
A sneak peak at this beautiful remodelled Salt Spring home. Just listed. On a private hilltop with a panoramic south and west views.
