Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

WHOA! that's so cool! love the neon sign!
Benjamin, that is spectacular framing! And the exposure for both the neon and the sky is perfect. Bravo!
"Open arms"
What a great commentary on your "Open" photo. I love the silhuoette of the tree (Do you know what it is?)
This is, I think a difficult photo to accomplish. I enjoyed this. =)
I also like the "open house" philosophy. Great shot!
photo & narrative - good all around. I'd join your Openism if there's neon involved...
I could use a dose of OPEN myself. I promise to work on it.
Your photo is just great and loved your comments. YOu have that lighting just perfect.
Thanks all for your kind remarks. "Open arms" and "open house" are good additions to the list. I don't know what kind of tree is silhouetted on the left there - it is some kind of pine that is planted here and there in Chinatown, and grows (or is trained) like a giant bonsai.
KG: of course there's neon - we're open to anything.
Virginia, yes, when one is younger one structures one's life along fairly narrow paths (it's called "focus") in order to succeed, but when we get older we don't need to be so careful or rigid. Yet it's hard to break down those walls that we built so carefully and purposefully.
...and of course the sky is opening up in welcome.
I love the photo Benjamin and the text is very insightful as well. Well done!
