The beautiful bay that I see every day...

And yes, I know that the heading rhymes, LOL! I am always enchanted by the many faces of the bay, officially (and politically incorrectly) named Eskimo Harbour. It changes colours with th wind, the ewetaher, the cloud patterns and the sky. It ranges from deepest blue to azure to turquoise to seafoam green to gray and silver, and every shade in between.

This view looks to the south-west, along River Road toward the Northern, the schools and the airport. In the far distance you can just about see the airport building at the top of the hill. The water here is brown from teh kelp at the shore, then slate blue-gray to green to seafoam colour.

This is one of the fishing boats pulled up to harbour. Check out the name: Aqsanik, or Northern Lights. And look at how blue the water is behind it. Darker near the shore and almost turquoise farther out. This view is to the west-southwest across the harbour.

Again, check out the different shades in the water. This view is west-northwest, directly across from me where I stood.





This view looks to the northwest and the water is even darker. Check out the different colours of rocks, too! The rocks here are black, gray, cream, pink, salmon, dark rose, and almost blue.

This view is as close to north as I could get without going for a swim...not a good plan with water so cold, LOL! The opening to the harbour is behind the hills to the east (right).

By the way, these pictures were all taken within about two minutes from start to finish so there is no change in weather or light. It's just the beautiful bay and all of its many colours.

And of note, the other day it was so windy that the waves were no longer washing onshore. The wind was pulling the waves off the shore and blowing them directly across the harbour. It looked like the way the sea rolls offshore and out, just before a tsunami washes in...kind of eerie! Wish I had thought to take a video!

Anyhow, off to warm up yummy turkey leftovers! I made some homemade cranberry sauce from the berries I picked a week or so back. It was delish!

TTFN!
