Like the Parliament Buildings or the McPherson Theatre this is one of Victoria's landmarks. Maybe it's not quite as big or famous but anyone who has lived in this town has at some time or another popped into this shop on the corner of Fisgard and Government (also quite a well known spot of course) and bought a paper, or a chocolate bar or maybe even some rice paper and Chinese ink. It is both a supplier of your everyday comestibles and a little outpost of the orient. - Fern

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.

The place looks good at night!
This photo just invites you to step through the door and start browsing...
Nicely composed and the perfect time of day to shoot it...
I know I've been in that store. :)
Looks like a good place to browse and not come out empty handed.
