September was summery but With the advent of October it became clear that autumn has arrived. The air is thinner and the wind is cold and blustery. One is surprised by long shadows in what seems like mid-afternoon. Here Victoria's downtown catches the last slanting rays of the setting sun. This is the view from Songhees Point.

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.

So pretty! I'm kind of intrigued to know what is being built under that giant crane.
Gorgeous lighting on this photo!
Beautifully timed shot of dusk arriving.
JoJo, that is a new condo tower under construction on Broughton Street, between Government and Broad.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer but that sounds like a crappy location for a condo tower...won't it wreck the quaintness of the waterfront area? Wouldn't it fit in better on Douglas or Blanshard somewhere? Has it been controversial?
Good questions JoJo.
I personally have heard little controversy about it, which does seem surprising considering it will be the first condo tower within as you say, the quaint old town core area, chalk-a-block full of heritage buildings bordered by Wharf Street along the harbour and Douglas Street to the east.
This one is about in the middle,two blocks away from the waterfront.
Almost all new office or condo towers downtown have been on, or to the east of Douglas.
The property where it is has been a parking lot for some time now.
As long as heritage buildings are protected, I have no problem with a mixed use combo. It should serve to liven up residential presence in a downtown that can seem to go into a coma after 5 pm. in the winter.
I just hope it's not too tall.
