Victoria, B.C.

My wife and I had some business on Vancouver Island this past weekend and once we completed that we drove 90 miles south to end up in Victoria where we were able to spend the afternoon and evening. These are some of the shots I was able to get during our short stay.

The Empress Hotel as seen from across the inner harbour.



Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and this is the Parliament Buildings where all our elected members meet to plan ways of relieving us of more tax dollars. They spend part of it on lighting the place up at night. Something I am not against and have wanted to photograph for years.



Fisherman's Wharf is well know and was just a 15 minute walk from our hotel. Some folks have floating houses and decorate them quite nicely.



Some folks spend 5 bucks and buy some herring to feed the wild seals. These little ladies really were fascinated by them as was I.

Nice shots!

Beautiful photos. I think my favorite, it was hard to pick,is the Parliment buildings.

I like them all, but the one with the boats really caught my eye. Beautiful...

That one is beautiful too. Knowing me, if I look a them again tomorrow, I'll have a new favorite one.

I was recently there also... (ClickBoom.... your pictures are better than mine).

Thanks folks and I'm glad you liked them.




Psstttt...chaski.... just a little heads up. Normally it's frowned upon in forums to post your shots in someone elses thread without asking permission.

Beautiful Photos ClickBoom,had a look at your site and love the one of the seal looking at you .

Thanks for the kind comments.

The seal shot was one of my favs as well especially since it isn't a captive seal.

And that is what makes it special ,I could help but just how docile it looked,yet put your hand near it and we find out different.

Great Photo's,keep the good work up

Quite a few people were feeding herring to them and I have to tell you they are extremely quick. They can rise out of the water, grab the fish and sink back down as fast as you can blink.



Thanks...

Here's a couple more you may or may not have seen...

Didn't notice the top one although did see the bottom one,My wife just read your reply,said the sad look on the face will work with people every time .

Yup. Seeing that sad little face, I'd hand him over fish.

Soooooooo,like all the rest of us,your a sucker for a sad little face also Animals,the certainly know their way around us

I think all animals take some class at birth to work on how to make those pitiful faces.
