Hey Scaper! Yes, I finally got around to posting some pictures from the summer. As for the monument, here’s an interesting read about it:

https://www.explorenorth.com/library...y_dispute.html

It is in “Commemoration of the Treaty Between Great Britain and the Russian Empire, 28 February 1825, Demarcating Canada's Western Boundary”

I went downtown on Christmas day in Victoria. It was a really nice afternoon. A little brisk for Victoria but still a nice day. Unlike now as it's so cold and snowing. The first three photos I took last Sunday but the rest are from today.

View towers. There originally were suppose to be two of these buildings but there was a falling out between the developer and the city so only one was built and not finished. This was one of the buildings that led to really strict height restrictions in Victoria. Thankfully the city has been approving taller buildings in the past 20 years and about a block from this building is a proposal for a 32 story tower which looks like it might get approved...

It rarely snows in Victoria but we've had quite a bit of it so far this winter. It's actually snowing this evening. Some photos I took a few days ago of the snow.

Here's a couple of photos of Hatley Castle I took a couple of years ago. Located in the municipality of Colwood. It has the most beautiful gardens there too. Sunken, Rose, Japanese gardens and more. They film quite a few movies here like X men and Smallville...

Victoria is full of rocky outcrops - here’s a view of Moss Rock Park from the garden trails behind Government House, which itself is on such an outcrop.

Moss Rock From Government House - April 12, 2023 by JohnnyJayEh, on Flickr

This was a handheld shot and a bit blurry, so I went back with a tripod and up a little higher and got this view:

That’s Washington State and the city of Port Angeles in the background.

I then walked over to Moss Rock Park and took a few pics from on top of that rock:

Red Fish Blue Fish seafood down at the docks - the best, if you know you know.

A mix of harbour shots including the final touches being put on a floating HAVN spa, built on an old US military vessel. I believe they have something similar in Montreal.
