Well, I got the number of photos down from 79 to 39 for the monthly Victoria roundup.
February 2023 Victoria Photos
Photo 1.
Rudlin Street. While not a fan of of the colour scheme, I do love the subtle but thoughtful details of this house. Simple things like the trimming the hedges overhanging the wall, the placement of shrubbery, the bench by the bottom of the stairs, the old fashion mailbox beside it, and the little house design by the front door. Nothing too elaborate but it all comes together.

700 block of Fort Street. If you look closely at the Ditch record store building it’s a miracle it’s still standing. Looks like a jumble of bricks with some timber on top. Still has lots of personality but along with the building on the right it’s days are numbered as there is a hotel proposed to take their spot.

Modern addition to the Custom House - recently completed. Overlooking the inner harbour and facing the Parliament Buildings and the Empress Hotel means great views at a high cost. Penthouse went for $10.8 million.

Behind the Empress Hotel you have the Crystal Gardens (formerly a salt water swimming pool for many decades). The yellow crane is the excavation for Telus Ocean office building.

Opened in 1925 “Its 250,000-odd gallons of sea water were piped from the ocean at Dallas Road. As it entered the pool, the water was warmed by heat generated by the Empress Hotel’s laundry, which at that time stood immediately to the north.” Source: https://www.focusonvictoria.ca/victo...rystal-garden/
It’s now part of the Victoria Convention Centre, and many may remember when it was a tropical garden with animals like pink flamingos and tiny monkeys.

Beacon HIll Park starts at the edge of downtown and extends to the ocean. Below the cliffs are beaches not visible in this shot from the pathway which is popular with walkers, joggers, and dogs.
