Earlier, we saw one during the first stages of opening.

8:48 p.m. A summer-like, Gulf Islands sky, in May. Mountain layers at no charge.

OK, here’s a Salt Spring Island home and a half. We stopped by for a few evening/night photographs and I’ve got to say that this is one of the most interesting homes on the Island.It could be because we were there on a gorgeous clear warm evening and just kept shooting and shooting — until well after dark (I’ve now delivered a total of 44 images of this home to Sotheby’s). Standing on the tile over concrete deck, we could feel the day’s warmth radiating from below and from the rock wall of the house itself. The whole front of the home opens up to a panoramic ocean view.


The sky colours are more intense during civil twilight* than they are after sunrise, as shown in the above photo taken from Fernwood Pier.
There’s a beam of light in the sky and reflected in the water; apparently this is called a sun pillar. And to the right, an aging condensation trail from a high flying jet.

The above is, of course, complete fiction. I did notice this scene (but not at my place) while photographing a new home for local builder Wilco Construction. Ummm…kind of nice if you like that kind of thing. And I do.
