Iconic Mount Maxwell in recent snowy splendour. Visitors have a great view of the mountain as they arrive in Fulford Harbour (from Swartz Bay). They see the mountain several times as they travel along Fulford-Ganges Road. Maxwell is also visible from the Maple Bay area.

A most beautiful view from a south end Salt Spring property. Looking southeast across the Swartz Bay ferry route, the Canada US border and the Olympic Peninsula.

This photo was taken yesterday at 8:23 am from high on the south end of Salt Spring Island. In hopes of a golden December sunrise, we had a bit of a surprise with wind driven snow and a very dark, fast moving sky.

That’s the Tsawwassen ferry approaching Swartz Bay.
