That’s one of the dormant aerators on St. Mary Lake. Meanwhile some mixing of air and water was going on above the surface.
How big are the aerators? This big:

(they were assembled in May 2011, in the parking lot of Community Gospel Chapel, and hoisted over to the lake by a massive helicopter)

An interesting morning sky, with a very brief moment of delightful colour.
And only one other person enjoying the sight (with a camera, on the dock).
I wonder if that type of cloud over Galiano has a name…

Yesterday I was travelling to the studio
down one of Salt Spring Island’s best roads
in the 9am sunshine
and came across this foggy corner.

Derek’s filling up a variety of containers on a wonderfully purple morning. This is actually the sunrise.
Gas has regularly been about 4 cents per litre more than in the Duncan area, though it dropped to 98.9 the afternoon I made this image. Not too many years ago Salt Spring Island was home to the most expensive gas in Canada.
