Even on these crisp winter days it's always a pleasure to catch a glimpse of the old Customs House on Wharf Street.

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.

It's a lovely house, and such a beautiful location!
Neat looking building.
I love the 'pink house' as I call it.
Yep, great picture Benjamin. My mother informs me that her brother, Albert Knowler, was required to report to that very building in the spring of 1942 to start his career as a soldier entering WWII. He and thousands of other young prairie (and west coast) men.
Thanks William and Stephanie for your comments.
@JoJo - it's one of my favorite buildings here as well. It always looks good at any time of the day or year and from almost any angle.
@Matthew - Thanks for that bit of history.
