I did not comment, but the shots you posted are really good btw. Nice Victoria and Montreal shots on this page too. I know how it feels to post a series of pictures people barely acknowledge, if at all, as I used to post pictures on this forum too many years ago. I am sure a lot of people are like me and pretty much only lurk on this thread without commenting much, but I thought I'd let you and the others know your contributions are appreciated.

One of my personal 32 (and a few others over a period of several months) vs. several non-personal a week are different scenarios. Ten pics is great, probably anything under 20 is fine for most as to not overpower every other city trying to post in here

I agree with 10 to maybe 15 pics for me from now on. But I don’t think it’s fair to say I’m oberpowering every other city when in fact I post maximum twice a week; it’s not my fault if hardly anyone else post pics, in between my posts.

Nah, you’re good. Great set!

I must be the exception, but I prefer robust set rather than set of only a handful of pics. I guess I’m stating the obvious :-)

And fair observation Martin. Wasn't trying to be a dick.

The more I see of Victoria, the more I consider it a great Canadian city.

Victoria is one of those small cities that feels much bigger than it is. A bit like Halifax. But in Victoria's case it's surprising because Vancouver is not far away, and usually in situations like that the larger city sucks out all the energy from the smaller one.

Fabulous Victoria set Great Scraper!

I like the individual company signage on each floor of this building, don't see this very often in Canada and when it's done elsewhere, mostly Asia, they usually make the signage too big and it looks tacky.

Thank you LeftCoaster

I also like how they put signs on the building like that. I really like that office building. It's only a couple of years old too. Here's a few photos of it, that I also took this year.

It's a beautiful building. Wish Montreal had a railway hotel that matched it.

Victoria's geography is a huge benefit for it. Even though it's close to Vancouver as the crow flies, it is so distinct because of it's position on the island. It has allowed it to grow independently from long ago, and it's recent boom is just further proof of its desirability and uniqueness. VERY different from Vancouver
