After I got off work, Glenn and I walked all over town. It's not every day you see a dog loping along in such an area. It was a construction site on Blanshard that we passed on the way to Tim Horton's for coffee to warm ourselves up. Don't let the blue sky fool you. Arctic air is still blowing down on Victoria and it was bitterly, freezing cold.
Walking through Chinatown Glenn pointed to a second floor room (not shown below) where he used to teach.
We continued through Fan Tan Alley.
At an entrance to Market Square was this gate. I liked the shadows on the yellow wall but the photo doesn't quite make it.
Down at the harbour, the little ferries are at rest.
Here is a recent addition to "spruce up" Bastion Square. A canoe stuck in giant tulips? No, apparently those are reeds and seed pods. This looks suspiciously similar to the metal posies out at the airport. That's because they were done by the same guy.
Continuing through Bastion Square, Glenn reminisced about the time he ran into Harry Heine outside the gallery that was at the bottom of the stairs, lower right . They discussed the art shows that used to happen in Eatons, now The Bay, back centre. Who knows - I may have seen Glenn's paintings there long before I knew him.
