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 am truly going to miss my beloved Victoria when I return to the east coast. Thank you for your blog as I will need my "Vic Fix" more than ever.
JoJo - you're leaving the Pacific Northwest? For good?
Iconic indeed! - and it sure looked different under 6" of snow when I was there last month!
Hey, just read that Dean will no longer be part of the Inner Harbour scene through no choice of his own. Details in the latest Monday Magazine... sounds like he's being screwed over.
Excellent shot. The foreground-depth gives this a real dynamic vitality. A great example of just how important choosing just the right perspective makes all the difference.
Mike, the MM story is quite accurate. What it was unable to go into his how the GVHA action against me is not what they claim, obviously since they can't back it up, but because of my protestations over their highly questionable ethics.
I did everything I could to resolve this 'in-house', but now the details will need to become more public, regrettably.
The causeway, being perhaps the most public place in the city needs to be the most transparent for business pursuits as well.
The GVHA doesn't seem to see it that way.
Ben - Yes, I am. I am leaving my husband to return to my hometown on Cape Cod to be with my soulmate, a guy I knew in high school. This has been a whirlwind last 2 months. Best case scenario I will be back on the Cape by mid summer. I don't want to leave the Pac NW, but I'm so lonely here. All my friends live back east.
This is a marvelous photograph. Very well composed.
JoJo - Wow, big changes! I hope it all works out well for you. Best wishes and keep in touch.
Mike, Thanks for drawing our attention to the story about Dean in Monday Magazine. Here's a link to the story: http://mondaymag.com/articles/entry/kicked-out-of-inner-harbour/. As well as being a regular and insightful commenter, Dean has been featured on this blog a couple of times - HERE and HERE, and I've spent many an hour chatting with him and watching him work his magic with visitors to our city down on the Inner Harbour Causeway. To deny him a license to practise his art is an incredible injustice. You don't have to believe me - read the Monday Magazine article in the link above and you'll agree. The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority needs to learn that the art of successful management includes admitting and correcting errors in judgement. Let's hope they correct this one before the tourist season starts.
Jack, Dean, Paul - thanks for your kind comments.
