Final Photo Post of 2011

Float Plane and Tug in Ganges, BC

Thursday morning, 7:48 am. Under the watchful eye of a resident tug, the pre-dawn glow illuminates the sea and sky. A Saltspring Air flight stops in Ganges before heading to the Vancouver seaplane terminal.

This post marks a year of Salt Spring Photos on this “new” website and almost three years of documenting the place and lifestyle of this beautiful Gulf Island.

Thanks for visiting. See you Monday, January 2, 2012.

Three in the Sky

Salt Spring Eagle
Three more favourites from 2011. These are three of the best “in the sky” I think.

Above, the gorgeous eagle with the upswept wings and the strong diagonal composition (eagle’s work, not mine) is an obvious choice I think.

Cloudfire
“Cloudfire” as seen out my back door one day. It’s all about changing colours.

Full moon in Ganges
And the third candidate: the August full moon that stole a bit of thunder from the Perseid Meter Shower.

Looking Back

Looking Back

Looking Back 2

Looking Back 3

These three images are more favourites from 2011. In each image the people within are looking back. And each image has a story to tell.

I don’t do a lot of “street photography”, but if I ever actually retire, I think I will.

(yesterday, one person’s 12 favourite images from 2011 on SaltSpringPhotos.com were presented; that’s how we got here today…)
