A walk to the pharmacy this morning.

Saint John

Jeez, spectacular Kamloops scenery shots! Will be nice to see Kamloops grow in tandem with Kelowna even if slower, will make that whole region a destination not just for scenery and the great outdoors but urban attractions as well.

Nice colourful St. John’s photos - it makes me think the city is Victoria’s sister from another Mister, different, but..

Finally, Saint John! Made me heart skip a beat there, lol, as it did when I first visited there. No doubt the most underrated city in Canada with potential if all goes well to be one of the country’s best.

Past couple of weeks in Victoria in chronological order. A couple of these were shared recently under skyline photos.

And went for a walk yesterday and it was such a lovely Sunday morning that I just on going around part of the inner harbour and got some colourful pics. With the narrow entrance to the harbour downtown and area form a sort of circle around the water making it enjoyable walking experience with plenty of views and stops along the way. I didn’t hit the Songhees side nor the mega yacht marina on that side as I was already up to three hours, but there is a couple shots of the ‘skyline’ from there in the pics above.

Yates and Douglas - September 15, 2024 by JohnnyJayEh, on Flickr

Now to Red Fish Blue Fish on the docks (always massive lineups, the best fish and chips and other seafood in Victoria and often listed in the best of fish and chips for Canada.)

How’s this for an airport restaurant? There is another one right beside it and both are open to the public, not just passengers.

The Royal Air Force Red Arrows just finished their Canadian tour in St. John's. I think they only did Montreal east, as far as I can tell, but had an extra stop in Toronto.

Anyhow, a few pics from FB...

St. John's

Toronto

Montreal

Oh, and Niagara Falls

Absolutely fantastic set of photos, zoomer. Victoria has so much colour.

zoomer · #**10410** Posted **Sep 27, 2024, 2:57 AM**

The green roofs and the new mural really pop on a grey Rimouski day! Nice photo.

Thanks giallo, glad you enjoyed them! When people think of colourful cities in Canada they tend to forget about Victoria. And I don’t just mean the politics, lol.

Yes they do! You can also get a glimpse of the Maritime Institute mural to the left.

ScreamingViking · #**10412** Posted **Oct 19, 2024, 11:01 PM**

HMCS Harry DeWolf was in Hamilton this week as part of a marine careers expo tour up the St. Lawrence Seaway and as far as Windsor.

She was moored next to the HMCS Haida, which was commanded by DeWolf during WWII and is now a historic site and museum ship, and also the ceremonial flagship of the navy.

Zoomer Great photos of Victoria. Some of your best work. We need to do a photo tour again soon.

Fall colours from a bike ride this morning. I cut it down a lot but still will have to spoiler this later like the one above

Beautiful set SHH! I am ashamed to say that I've yet to make it to St. John's. I've been wanting to visit for many years but I don't like to be too far from Halifax during the boating season. Maybe I'll hit you for a house swap next year. lol

SignalHillHiker · #**10416** Posted **Oct 20, 2024, 8:33 PM**

Oh it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's expensive, and end of the line. Not a place you can just end up (absent some 9/11-style catastrophe). And you're welcome any time, but I'm never going west again except for flight connections if the airlines MAKE ME

Arrdeeharharharbour · #**10417** Posted **Oct 20, 2024, 8:42 PM**

I went out to McNab's Island for a bit and then tied up downtown for a bit. Far too beautiful a day not to get out and enjoy it.

Thanks Scaper, glad you enjoyed the pics

As for the other pics, always interesting to see naval ships in Ontario; St. John's looking showing off its gorgeous colours, now if they could only erase The Mix from the mix.. and a great day for a boating outing in Halifax! Beauty all around, thanks for sharing everyone.

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing that.

I've yet to visit Victoria and St. John's, but clearly I need to!!!

zoomer · #**10420** Posted **Oct 21, 2024, 7:23 PM**

You should! I’m planning a day trip to Hamilton next year when I visit Toronto. Not fair I know to spend so little time there, but I’ll leave early and return late in the day.

St. John’s is also on my list, problem being is of course the distance and cost, but after I’ve seen the rest of the main cities in Canada I’ll have no excuse not to. Victoria is handy in that you can start off in Vancouver or Seattle and get the ferry experience coming over, or start off in Victoria and then you have the whole of Vancouver Island to explore.

Ok, a few pics from the past couple of weeks:
