Slab Sunset II
In Slab Sunset a couple of days ago I showed rock slabs reflecting the setting sun at the edge of Harling Point. Today I add a couple more shots, processed in colour and black and white.

Slab Sunset
After shooting the sun setting beyond a tide-pool as shown in yesterday’s post I was thrilled to find these slabs of rock with such beautiful reflecting light. This is a bit east along the beach and these slabs are like giant slices of bread cut from the vertical face to the right.

Tide Pool Sunset
I finally took my camera for a walk, yesterday at sunset. I was only up for a couple of blocks, so I went to the Chinese Cemetery. The sun was setting and there were a lot of people down there, far more than I expected. They included a dog walking neighbour chatting with another Harling Point resident, dog waiting impatiently, bike riders, a guy doing Tai Chi, a couple having an earnest talk on a bench about life in the Gulf Islands (from the snippet I heard as I passed them by), two young men photographing a graceful woman (dancer?) posing on one of the erratics, and miscellaneous others all enjoying the end of a sunny day that did not feel much like winter. It was not typical, but a nice scene to slip into after nearly a week shut up in the house, coughing.

Shingled House
Another small house opposite the Chinese Cemetery on Penzance Road. The photo was taken at the same time as my last two posts – yet another from my archive as I get over this bug.

Rounded House
This small bungalow is opposite the main gate into the Chinese Cemetery at the corner of Penzance and Crescent Roads. The photo was taken the same day as yesterday’s post, two Decembers ago. Since I have been laid low by a nasty cold or flu, I have not been able to take photos for over a week (other than of my new grand-daughter, now one week old), or spend more than about 20 minutes putting together blog posts. So, my archive is getting a work out.
The processing of this image is a bit of a nod towards Melinda Green Harvey, without the courage to take the contrast quite as far as she so often does (though uploading to WP has helped push things along that path quite a lot).

Chimney Clouds
It has been an awfully long time since I posted a shot of the Chinese Cemetery. These photos I took in December 2 years ago. The sky was wonderful and other posts featured it, such as Crow Called It (one of my all time favourite pictures) and Cloud Pump. These are the ceremonial chimneys either side of an altar in the cemetery.
