Acute Angles
On our trip up island a couple of weeks we stopped by a modern waterfront house. The house is very interesting to look at with a lot of pointy angles.
Toba Trees II

After posting yesterday’s colour version of this picture I realised it did not convey what I was seeing in the photo as well as I liked.
I think the colour, especially of the river, is a major distraction. So here is another version that I hope is a bit better.
What I like in this image is the discordant angles of the alder tree trunks on one side of the river, and of the tree shadows from the other side.
There is something unnatural about the angles, a bit like the sides of a box.
Queen No More
I have no idea how many times, other than ‘lots’, that I travelled on the Queen of Tsawwassen. The Queen of Tsawwassen was part of my existence for about 40 years so you can imagine my surprise to find her at the head of Toba Inlet, serving time as a logging camp. The Queen of Tsawwassen was decommissioned as a ferry in 2008 after 48 years of service, sold and renamed the Inlet Explorer for a new life.
One of the Sidney class of ferry made for BC Ferries she is the second ferry they had built. This class was inspired by the MV Coho, still in service between Victoria and Port Angeles, a ferry that has appeared in this blog before, and will again.
Drowned Donkey
Steam donkey drowned in the Toba River, probably an Empire model. Some of these photos are in the diagonal series.
