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.

I remember when I took the gorge tour, we got as far as this bridge but the guide didn't want to take the little boat under b/c of the tidal bore. I asked him if it was like a miniature "Bay of Fundy". lol
PS What's a shell midden?
Hi JoJo - when the tide is really flowing here the current is VERY strong. A shell midden is basically a dump of shells that built up over over time in places where the indigenous peoples used to harvest and process shellfish. Middens often yield a great deal of information useful to archaeologists about how people lived and what they ate.
Very nice reflection. I like the stonework.
An attractive scene. The passage is so narrow, I can see why the tide would be strong when the flow reverses.
Your photo has the ability to pull my eyes into the scene. Nice shot.
Nice landscape. Really professional blog. Thanks for sharing.
