Very nice Victoria pictures. But I think it’s time to replace those christmas light bulbs on that building in Victoria with a proper LED 21st century lighting scheme that would enhance the architecture.

Really beautiful photos of Montreal and Halifax. I've never been to either city before but I'd love to go and visit them one day.

Zoomer, thanks for sharing your latest Victoria photos. You have such a great eye for taking photos. I managed to find a little bit of time this evening to take some photos after work and visiting customers.

Here's a different photo. I took this from a mountain in Victoria called Mt. Tolmie. It's looking across the straights to Mt. Baker a volcano in Washington State...

Fascinating how rust/corrosion are not really issues in Victoria. Also neat seeing a very different armoury design from what I'm used to. Halifax's was recently restored - it had been operating for years in a semi-rundown state with barriers to prevent loose stonework from falling on people (the wooden gazebo-like structure on the right is a segment of that barrier system), seems to be fixed now, finally:

SignalHillHiker · #**9368** Posted **Aug 2, 2022, 12:29 AM**

Just one, not mine. Still one of my fave things - when the Oceanex cargo ships arrive, or a cruise ship is visiting... whether you're on the ship or on land, watching them squeeze through the narrow entrance to our harbour/city is fun.

(Also, for the NLers here, follow this group. It sounds stupid and silly but it's amazing how interesting it is to know every ship/rig/whatever else coming or going in the harbour). There are times I've gone for a walk downtown just to see a yacht or whatever that was posted by this page).

Metro-One · #**9369** Posted **Aug 2, 2022, 6:19 AM**

I always feel that Metrowrown gets a hard wrap on this forum, often giving it a direct comparison to Mississauga. But I have spent many years there in my life, and it has a sense of grit and place that is often not well represented on this forum. A week ago I returned to Canada finally after 3 years and had a great evening taking some pics. Yes, it wont win any great urban paradise awards, but it is urban, especially for a suburb. Also of note, it is the most "LA" feeling place in Canada on a warm summer day.

like LA, Metrotwown is not perfect, but it feels so much more lived in on the ground than many on here give it credit for.

Martin Mtl · #**9370** Posted **Aug 2, 2022, 10:15 AM**

Nice pics of Metrotown that do indeed showcase a nice vibe from the ground.

kool maudit · #**9371** Posted **Aug 2, 2022, 5:45 PM**

I can see the LA comparison.

giallo · #**9372** Posted **Aug 2, 2022, 6:30 PM**

Great pics, Metro.

For me, the jury is out on Metrotown right now. It's clearly developing into something greater than it is, but I'm still not completely sold on the neighbourhood.

Having said that, I'm there weekly for my Crystal Mall fix. Best food court in Metro Vancouver.

zoomer · #**9373** Posted **Aug 6, 2022, 6:27 PM**

Beautiful armoury Hali87 (is the ‘87 for Crosby, or the year you were born?!).

Also very interesting shots of the Metrotown area - I’ve never really bothered to explore it beyond Crystal Mall (agree about the food fair) and a couple times I stayed at the hotel there as back in the day at least it was a significant discount to downtown, yet just a short sky train ride away. Might have to walk around the neighbourhood next time.

One picture (hehe) of my walk below around from the inner harbour to the outer harbour and Fisherman’s Wharf. Of course not comprehensive at all of Fisherman’s Wharf or the walk as I did go right past the Parliament buildings, but just a few shots in one.

Lovely pics of Victoria! Really wish I had a chance to get that way this time around in BC, maybe next time in a year or two!

Here are my pics of Kelowna from last week when I was there for a couple days. This is when I fainted from dehydration... getting older... also not accustomed to the dry heat, I forgot to rehydrate!

Leaving Kelowna!

KelownaLeavingTheValley by Ian, on Flickr

I will admit that I have always had a soft spot for Kelowna, but I feel it deserves a better reputation than it has on this forum, especially given the transformation that has taken place over the last two decades. it has a legitimately interesting and fun downtown core these days with just enough older bones to build upon, there is a surprisingly large amount of pedestrian activity, it has wonderful parks and beaches surrounding the downtown core and elsewhere in the urban area, and the setting is amazing.

Also I argue that even though it is far from perfect, and even if you are one of those that hate it, it has a unique flavor among Canadian cities.

Cheers!

Great pics, Metro. It's always fun to see my hometown through someone else's eyes.

The Great Scaper · #**9377** Posted **Aug 8, 2022, 4:41 AM**

Great shots Zoomer... Also really amazing photos of Kelowna. Definitely be careful in the heat... It's really exciting seeing the changes to the city. It will be an amazing looking city in 10 years. I took over 220 photos today. Most were from the Torque Master's Car show in Sidney. Over 400 cars all years, makes and models. A great show. I also took some photos from around Victoria this evening. I'll upload a few every night this week. Here's a few I uploaded tonight.
