Thanks Scaper. Yes I live in Victoria (Saanich). I’ve been “lurking” on this site for awhile now but finally made my first post. I am retired and ride my ebike downtown a few times a week and sometimes take a few pics (with my old iPhone SE).

I really enjoy the photos that you and Zoomer post. You guys have some real skill and a good eye for capturing the beauty of this place.

Great username - did you retire in 2008?! Welcome and thanks for sharing your pics, and Dylan too! That Aryze on Fort is going along quite quickly. There is a steady stream of mid-size projects with a lot of 20 and 30 storey buildings approved now, will be nice to see a bunch of these get started soon. Perhaps waiting on an another interest rate cut or two.

And thanks for the comments everyone

Thanks Zoomer. You are correct about my username. We escaped to Victoria in 2008 after 20+ years in the trenches of Ottawa’s tech industry.

Freedom2008... Amazing photos as well. I love the first one! I see it's your first post are you located in Victoria?

I just heard this today... a 26 story condo building has been approved in Esquimalt.

Here's a photo I took about 7 months ago. I have just picked up a new camera so I'll be taking more photos soon too. I've missed doing that.
