Flat water, great sky. Dawn at Fernwood Pier.
One Year Ago
One year ago, the world looked very different on Salt Spring Island. So don’t take those snow tires off just yet (that’s presuming you actually put them on…)
Here’s the SaltSpringPhotos.com post from one year ago today:
Yesterday snow was coming down and gently painting the world white. We sat around the fire, watched the Olympics and pretended it was a snow day.
Today, in our neck of the woods it’s a real live snow day with almost 30 cm of the heavy stuff, trees bending and occasional power fluctuations. Love it—a gold medal weather day!
Gulf Islands Triptych
Three images which show part of the view from a south Salt Spring ‘cottage’ were commissioned last fall and will soon hang in the client’s home.
The images will be printed in high resolution black and white, likely 24 x 16 inches each, and mounted on aluminum (as imagined above) for a crisp aesthetic as the dominant feature of a main living area.
A fourth image (also part of the view), taken just after sunset with Swartz Bay and Sidney in the foreground and extending to Mount Rainier, was also provided.
(here is the center image, quickly converted to black and white)
On a somewhat related note:
Congratulations to a pair of daily viewers from the Seattle area who have recently hung a beautifully framed, limited edition print of ‘Sunrise Swans’ in their lovely home. Thanks for supporting SaltSpringPhotos.com!
Gulf Island View
We’re looking east from Salt Spring to Portland Island, Ruckle Park (also on Salt Spring), a BC Ferry travelling from Vancouver to Victoria, Pender Island, Saturna Island and the Cascade Mountains south of the border. Oh, and the moon.
Maxwell Road Pond
Here’s a pond along the the side of the Mount Maxwell road seen during the last ‘cold’ spell. Hopefully we’ll see more of that soon!
