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.

Whatt gorgous skyline. he architecture is just so ornate.
That's Victoria alright. Like I say, you could shoot a canon down the middle of the road and you wouldn't hit anybody.
I like the exotic flourish. Makes all those square boxes rethink themselves.
Thank you Babooshka and Elaine.
Wayne, now you've gone and hurt my feelings. I was patting myself on the back because there are actually three living people (count 'em!), not to speak of the approaching vehicle with its headlights on there in the distance.
Duly chastised. You're right Benjamin, it's downright hectic for Victoria.
amazing photography here. excellent treatment
Lots of color on a gray day.
Wow! Such a peaceful & quiet scene on a main thoroughfare! I really like all the details on the buildings! You live in such a beautiful city!
That whole street is an amazing mixture of styles.
That's actually just a side street.
