Victoria, B.C. Trip

[trystinn]

The first shots are from the ferry Elwha (Anacortes to Sidney), the rest are Victoria. In order, the pics are: Parliament, the Pier, the Empress Hotel and Darth Vader playing a violin.

I was on my cell phone when the Netherlands Centennial Carillon started playing so I only had a second to grab my camera, so please pardon the background chatter. Glorious instrument, it was playing Greensleeves at the time.

Victoria's an incredible place.
It's like a piece of old London from before the wars.

(that's how it's been described to me anyway - however it has been rated the "second most British city in the world - after London")

There's no work for people like me there or I'd go. My dad's a half hour away from town there.

Playing music on the bells is one of the joys at such a church - I've heard. I love to listen when they do.

I've been to Anacortes when my sister was living in Seattle. We went on a whale-watching trip, but I am not sure what Island we were on. I remember how beautiful it was - thanks for bringing back those memories. It looks awesome. Great pictures.

Thank you - I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of the new digital camera. Amazing the learning curve on new technology, eh?
