Massive
Victoria, BC, is a bit of a strange place. The area around the harbor is pretty and well-kept in a nearly Disneyland-like way. There are flower beds and potted plants everywhere.
I took a walk along the waterfront, though, and when you get half a dozen blocks away from the harbor things start to change. There were lots of homeless people sleeping on public lawns, and I passed a Salvation Army storefront with an enormous line of people waiting to get in.
Also, the city becomes more industrial-feeling in a hurry. This drawbridge is a case in point!
There have been some great images on photoblogs I follow lately. Check out:
- Blue Night on The G8
- This image on Slippery Slope
- #1334 on Orbit 1
Wow, this is awesome! I like how the people look like ants to this massive drawbridge! Lovely lighting too. Love it.
