Very colourful shots GS! Late Sunday afternoon - so quiet compared to pre-Covid times, but still beautiful.

Thanks Zoomer.

I took this photo in June but had never edited or uploaded it so I uploaded it on Flickr tonight. It's a skyline shot of Victoria taken from Metchosin.

It's been a while since I've posted any new photos of Victoria on this thread. I took most of these photos in January. They are all photos that I've personally have taken.

I took this photo in a Victoria neighborhood called James Bay in early February. It was taken in Beacon Hill Park.

A partial view of Victoria including the naval base:







source of three pics



source

The tallest building you see there is The Hudson, one of three (one currently under construction) buildings built on the former Hudson Bay Parkade land and you can see the Hudson Bay building which now has a public market, bank, yoga studio, hair dresser, other shops on the bottom and condos with an additional floor added on. Not to mention a killer roof top deck:

Wow Zoomer. What great photos. Do you know where the Navy Base photo was taken from? I've been wanting to get a photo like this for so long. What a great vista. Thanks for sharing these too.
