Break Water Barrier
Here is another image from last Friday’s trip to Ogden Point Breakwater. You can find out more about the breakwater in my first post of this series.

Ross Bay Lost
This is in a series taken in Ross Bay last Friday, including a kayak photo and a storm drain, both of which have these same interesting clouds. Frequent viewers will have noticed that I normally keep people out of my photos. However, this woman’s white coat was perfect for the conditions. And, the entire time I was at this part of the beach she was searching among the pebbles, usually crouching close to the beach, and generally getting into my photos.
I had the feeling she was doing more than beach combing for nice rocks, but was somehow meditating and contemplating while doing so, as if mulling over or searching for something dear that was lost, perhaps irretrievably. Perhaps lost love.

Breakwater Shadow
This is another shot from Ogden Point Breakwater which I first posted about yesterday. This shadow is on the side of a building at the landward end of the breakwater. All the people perambulating on the breakwater at this time of day and year cast their shadow here.

Blocks Break Water
Ogden Point Breakwater is a 760m (2500 feet) long structure that shields Victoria’s outer harbour from the winter storms. It was completed in 1916. Just inside the breakwater is where the pilot boats dock waiting to deliver and receive pilots from ships in transit through the complex waters to the east of Victoria, mostly passing to and from Vancouver, but also Nanaimo and points north. Pilots are highly qualified mariners with local knowledge that guide ships safely through difficult inland waterways. It is also just inside the breakwater that larger ships, including cruise ships, can dock. When I was there on Friday, a large log transport vessel was having its load removed after being seriously damaged by a “rogue wave” off the west coast of Vancouver Island last week, on its way to Japan.

Ross Bay Buoy
A storm drain structure in Ross Bay, Victoria. The Olympic Mountains are in the distance with another view of the slash of white cloud that was so prominent in yesterday’s kayak photo. The kayak photo was taken less than two minutes after this one. I had a planned a shot that had both the kayak and the drain in it, but the owner of the kayak returned with paddles and gear so I was foiled.

Ross Bay Promise
Kayak promising a trip to the inner harbour and then back here, Ross Bay, Victoria. The Olympic Mountains are in the distance with a great slash of white cloud where a streak of blue sky was emerging.
This image is my second today – it is by way of an apology for the first one which I realise belatedly is a pretty crappy photograph.

Tree House Shadow
Another shot along Quadra Street, this one at its intersection with Fairfield Road. This is a very small heritage house that is right up against the street. It has been on the market several times in the past decade, probably is a pretty noisy location, not to mention small. A few owners back installed the iron fence with marble fence posts.
