Cranky
I just love the colors of the rusty winch against the grey water at Fulford Harbor on Saltspring Island. If you ever go there make sure to visit the Rock Salt Cafe. We went there for lunch and I had the Texicana Naan Sandwich and it was one of the best meals I have ever had – for $11. Definitely worth the stop.
Mini Mushroom
There are so many amazing things to see if you pay attention. This mushroom growing on a bed of moss is only about 5 millimeters across and would be easy to miss if you are walking too quickly.
Sticks and Stones
I came across this old barn on Saltspring Island which has an interesting combination of wood, brick and stone. It makes an interesting detailed shot of the various materials working together to keep the barn standing.
Six Dollar Moorage
If you have never visited a “Government Wharf” I would highly recommend it. I am not sure if they exist anywhere else but I do know there are 4 of them on Saltspring Island. Every one that I visited had something unique and interesting. There is a sign at each of the wharfs giving the fees to moor overnight at the wharf and for this size rowboat (I’d estimate around 6 feet) it would cost $6.00 (including taxes). I’d say that’s a pretty good deal but I don’t know if I would want to spend the night in such a craft.
Bow – Wow
I was visiting Ganges Harbor on Saltspring Island with some friends and we happened upon a boat show where we were able to board a bunch of working and pleasure boats of various sizes and types. This is a fancy cruiser with an interesting shadow cast across the bow.
Wheat Field
A large wheat field near Olds, Alberta (which happens to be where I was born – Olds, not a wheat field) with one of the few remaining wooden grain elevators in the background.
Mount Baker
When I was in Abbotsford a couple of months ago I took this shot of Mount Baker as the sun was setting. What a beautiful and scary mountain.
Metropolitan
This is a cool car that I have seen driving around town. I finally caught it parked in a spot not too bad for a photo.
I like this one in both color and black and white. If you’re interested, I think it’s a 1957 Nash Metropolitan. I like the crop tight on this because it accentuates how crowded it must feel like to drive in one.
Mount Saint Helens
I grew up in central Alberta. In 1980 I was 11 years old so I didn’t really understand the significance of the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. My wife and I tried to visit there in about 1998 but there was low fog and rain so we just had to imagine what it would look like. Last week we decided to meet some friends there and ended up seeing it on a gloriously sunny day and here are a couple of the shots from that day.

Aircraft Photos
Here are some photos of some of the Aircraft at the Abbotsford Airshow. The first two are of a Russian Mig-17 (also known as a Fresco).

This next group shows an F-18 Hornet in various maneuvers. I think it looks cool the way the third image is blurred due to the heat of the exhaust.

The final photo is of a Boeing C17 Globemaster taking off in a very steep climb.
