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.

What part of Dallas Drive is this? I don't remember seeing it the last time I was up there.
Hi JoJo - both these photos were taken from Clover Point looking across Ross Bay.
That top shot is really 'swell'.
No kidding about the wind! I think our weather pattern is a month behind right now, feels like March.
B, did you live here in the early 90s? Before the city put in the wave-dampening gravel 'berm' you would get these awesomely huge waves that would crash up and over Dallas Road, sometimes reaching the cemetery on the other side.
Like Mike above, I remember the huge waves along Dallas Road that washed over the road and into Ross Bay Cemetary. I loved going down to Dallas Rd. on windy days and trying to walk against the wind!! You almost had to tie yourself to a tree not to get blown away. The wind would take your breath away.
I miss that now that I don't live in Victoria anymore, but love to see your photos to bring it all home for me!
Only in photographs do I prefer cloudy skies!!!
