Flat water, great sky. Dawn at Fernwood Pier.

1:00 pm on the Pacific Circle Highway just before it was closed to traffic. And just before I turned tail for Salt Spring Island…
A 135 hectare fire 1 kilometre from Lizard Lake (27 kilometres SW of Cowichan Lake) was discovered Wednesday and the highway was closed to traffic. Here’s the BC Wildfire Service link for updated info. This is a suspected human-caused fire. Argh.




Sunday’s post-sunset view from an upstairs window.
My favourite local tree. It’s common to see these colour layers when there’s a bit of cloud on a summer evening.

A delightful Saturday sunset as seen from Fernwood Pier on the north end of Salt Spring Island
This is a great place to get a reprieve from the unusual late day heat, particularly with a north-west breeze.
Inland on the west-facing rock the thermometer read 31 degrees. But it was goose-bump/chicken-skin weather watching the sunset.

We finally ordered our own prints. They arrived yesterday so I got them on the wall and grabbed a quick iPhone photo.
These two form a stunning diptych; a view from Mount Tuam. The full set contains four images and currently resides on a client’s wall in Edmonton. But in our compact home I felt the middle two prints work best. And it was the only place where we had four feet of clear wall space.
The images were converted to black and white and printed on a true black and white, glossy archival paper. The print was then flush mounted on aluminum Dibond backing and sprayed with a protective matte finish. The finished product is clean, very light and simple to hang.
Unfortunately you just can’t get the true impression of the detail present, but the two images below might help (particularly if you are viewing on a ‘retina’ display — a modern high resolution screen) as this website now serves up higher resolution images if it detects an applicable display.
This set of two is available in any size to fit your space. Contact me if you are interested.
