I once lived for several years in an African village close to the equator. I always think of that time when we pass the equinoxes here since they mark the times of the year when the days and nights are nearly the same length. On the equator this is the case all the time with 12 hours of daylight every day. The daylight hours were very important in that village because there was no electricity and very little light after the sun went down. Our relationship to the sun in our urban environments is not so intimate but even here we are affected by the shortening of the days as we move into winter's darkness. Time to get out the Vitamin D!
The above photo was taken on the Westsong Walkway looking towards Westbay Marina in Esquimalt. It is nearly the same shot as THIS.

Wow what a great landscape and colours!
Beautiful shot! I love the wispy tree in front and the clouds stretching away behind it... it gives the photo great visual depth.
I love this photo. Happy fall! :)
Gorgeous photo Benjamin, and I loved your story about living in Africa. We really do take so much for granted here. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate the sun and the seasons and the fact that we really do live in paradise.
Lovely!!!
Gorgeous shot! I visited Victoria twice and really enjoyed the view.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful landscape!
