Here's a shot I took when I was last in Victoria.

Taken during a walkabout on Government Street during summer 2001 I think it
was.
Taken with an OM4T / 35/80 f2.8 zoom on Provia hand held. In the slide the
items on the menu board at the top of the stairs are clearly legible
......... great lens!
This is what the Victoria waterfront [just off Cadboro Bay Road] can look
like in the late autumn ...... late November in the late 1980s I think it
was.
