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.

That top photo is fabulous! Unique angle, converging lines, the sideways light, that dramatic sky...
Personally, I like this one better than any of your previous Gonzales shots.
I'm jealous... :)
I do love the angle of the top photo, that is really cool. I'm glad you said it was sunrise b/c in all of the pics, I thought it was late afternoon.
Gonzales Hill is a special place, being the highest point along the south end of the city. What a great view along Beach Drive, westwards to Dallas Road and out into the strait and American Olympic Pensinsula to the south!
A steady progression of freighters, whale watching and pleasure boats means a constant variety of activity to see on the water.
