Victoria Harbor
April 15th and 16th, 2024


The night view from room 1503




























Some of Government Street is closed for traffic.


























April 15th, close to sunset next to visitor center.


























My retirement bench in the middle




























The Empress Hotel, Pokie is busy taking close ups of the flowers





























Tulips are prominent at this time of the year

























I am using a super wide-angle for this shot



























The lobby of the Empress Hotel




























The "Water Taxis" are "parked" for the night.
















































































April 15th



























April 16th, the blue sky prevails and the wind dies down significantly
























































The Government building on Belleville Street


























The 'Water Taxis" with Empress Hotel as a background




































































































































































































We take a stroll on the south side of the harbor


























A seaplane readied to take off, Delta Hotel in the background



























That is MV COHO (Black Ball Ferry Line),
we will take that to Port Angeles on the way home,
instead of going north again to Tsawwasen.
We will avoid the traffic through border,
Seattle notorious traffic, Tacoma traffic and Olympia traffic.























Water taxi, from Point to another Point is $15.00 (toulist tlap)





















































































We are walking to Fisherman Wharf


















































































I like the reflection of the sailing post on the water









































































































































Entering the Fisherman Wharf





















































He got a call to pick up passenger(s)


















































































Oooh...what a short vacation but fun....
