Here we see Hatley Castle from the Croquet Court, a sunken lawn area below the Italian Garden that is adjacent to the castle building. The bystanders so picturesquely posed were engaged in planning a wedding scheduled for the following day. As well as providing a backdrop for numerous Hollywood films, the castle, like other Victoria scenic locations such as Saxe Point Park, is often a venue for wedding ceremonies.

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 would be lovely place to get married.
I was married there 25 years ago. As an ex-RRMC cadet, I worried that the gardens would be neglected once it was turned over to civilian care.
I was there a couple of months ago and was very impressed to see that the gardens were even nicer than when I attended the college back in the late-70s. I'm actually on display in the museum that's in the basement of the castle. Nothing makes you feel old than knowing that you are a genuine museum piece!
Nice place!
It's a beautiful place to wander about. Terrific shots!
