Gingerbread... houses?

Laurel Point Inn in Victoria has a display of gingerbread houses made by local chefs. As with the decorated Christmas trees in the Empress Hotel, people can vote for their favourite and donate to a charity.

A closer view of Emily Carr House. This is quite a good rendition.

This picture taken from the internet shows the real Emily Carr house.

Craigdarroch Castle perhaps.

People certainly are creative!

I like the windows in this house.

This Arizona style display is my favourite of all.

The back of this Harrods is open to show some of the floors. There is even one with grand pianos, which I think I remember seeing in the real store.

A library inside a tree trunk?

Victoria's 'blue bridge' has been the subject of much controversy in town. After months of debate it will be replaced with a new structure.
