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.

You are right, it is very Greek-looking! Is the public ever allowed inside to look thru the telescope?
Hmm, Mom always told me to say nothing if I can'say anything nice, ..lol
.. but this pic is missing aesthetic principles that make for a good shot.
The elemental split down the centre and weighing on one side causes an uneasy friction ... for 'my eye', at least.
JoJo - the building is no longer in use as an observatory and is not open to the public. Victoria does have an observatory with public programs though I've not been inside.
Dean - your kind and perceptive comments have made my day often enough for you to have plenty of critical credit. Feedback of all kinds is always welcome. I wasn't too happy with this shot either but for me the decision was whether to crop more off the left side and bottom or leave it as it is.
