I've mentioned before that sometimes during the summer months I get the feeling I'm living in a giant theme park when I'm in downtown Victoria. I got that feeling yesterday evening when I was enjoying the mesmerizing music-box mime of Pierre St. Pierre and one of those horse-drawn carriages trotted past.

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.

Terrific shot... though there's something about mimes that just seems off kilter.
I agree with William...it's a great shot but it makes me uneasy. Probably cause mimes look a lot like clowns, who also creep me out. These guys amaze me though, the ones that stand completely still till someone puts a loony in the bucket for them to play, or move.
I just found your blog and like it. Terrific photos and your header/banner is very appealing!
Thanks all for your comments.
@William and JoJo - I must post a video of Pierre St. Pierre sometime - I think you might revise your opinions of mimes if you could see how he charms passerbys - especially children. The wonderfully nostalgic accordian music he plays also contributes a lot.
@Kate: Thanks. I hope you will continue to visit here. Like Victoria, it's quite a quiet place.
