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

Thanks Zoomer. :D

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.

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

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:
