Government Street at Night

I heard somewhere that movie directors often spray streets with water before shooting because the reflections make the scene much more interesting. Since then I've noticed a lot of gratuitous rained-on streets in films. These photos of Government Street at night seem to support this technique - that wash of color from the lights reflected in the moisture on the pavement adds a lot to these photos.

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'll notice wet streets in car commercials too. It does look nice. These pics are great.
It certainly adds something to the shots. Beautifully captured!
Stunning photos. Can't wait tii we're on Government Street again. At the Gelato shop :)
It really is something that you notice in films! Love your shots.
One of my favorite areas of Victoria.
All the reflection also brightens things up. So long as the water is only the street and not dripping off your hair or nose, it's okay by me.
