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.

Nice red splash of colour in the grey!
The "unspectacular" details are what add up to a portrait of a place. Cheers from Gabriola!
The 'leave just the red' is a jazzy feature. I don't have that and it's just as well, I'd do all my photos like that.
I notice it left the yellow centre line on the road too.
Oh yes, that works brilliantly. Nice work, Ben!
Not a new feature but its been around for over 15 years. And there you go reminding me of work on my week off. cheers
Murcia...: I've been experimenting lately with a free, open-source image editing program called GIMP ( http://www.gimp.org ). The treatment this photo received came about as a result of trying a GIMP tutorial that you can find here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Selective_Color/
I am very impressed with GIMP and recommend it to anyone who wants to play with image editing without investing a lot of money.
Thanks Babzy and Saretta.
Snapper, I agree completely but forget it most of the time. It's one of the things I've learned from looking at your photos.
Wayne, yes I did the yellow line too so people wouldn't think it was just a "leave the red" button.
...and if you look up the road to your right those parking spots are free (for two hours, but I've never been caught) and easily walkable to downtown. I park here all the time and actually have used this mailbox too. (I'm an avid letter writer.)
