The project next to Esquimalt Town Hall that has taken years so far:

Yet another new building, this one on Johnson St on the periphery of downtown:

Phil nice photos. Hey I thought I would also try to post some pictures. I tried to log on several times over the last couple of months but I couldn't figure out my password so Dylan was kind enough to give me a new one. I also just got my Flick account back as well. I hadn't used it since 2012. Hopefully I can figure out how to post pictures. lol

It worked. I'll post some more. So cool!

I bought a new camera in January and a new laptop in February. I have been enjoying taking new photos and getting back into photography. I will post some of my recent Victoria city photos. I hope I haven't posted too many.

Welcome back Scaper and thanks for sharing!

Nice to see Victoria going from mid mid rise to low hi rise!��

Victoria is really changing a lot damn, really maturing as a more major skyline for sure

GreatScaper - I thought you were dead or hiding out in South America! Like almost a decade gone and he returns, great skyline shots as always.

Thanks Zoomer. I think of you often actually. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Great shots! Victoria's mid-rise built form density is so impressive, it punches well above its weight.

I "stole" these pics and posted them in the Great Canadian Skyline thread. You are quoted and properly credited. But I just wanted to thank you for the awesome shots of Victoria!

All doing well - thanks! We’ll have to get coffee and catch up once things settle down - in the meantime looking forward to more pictures. Hope to see you back on VV too - be safe Scaper!

Beautiful photos!

Phil McAvity · #**2334** Posted **May 4, 2020, 6:17 AM**

You and I take pretty much the same pictures, in fact they are so similar I could have sworn I took one of them!

How much zoom does your camera have?

Thanks! I will look forward to getting together that would be nice. Crazy times right now for sure. I will post some more pics this week. I just haven't uploaded them yet. I was happy how easy it was. I wasn't sure because I hadn't had my Flickr account active since 2012. I had to get an admin guy to resend me my password. I'm thankful he gave it to me.

We posted at the same time. Funny. My camera has a 50x zoom. That's what made me get it. It's also got 20 megapixels too. I'm pretty happy with it so far but I really need to learn more about how to use it.

Your comment made me laugh too.

Wait... you were away??

vicdevelopments · #**2338** Posted **May 5, 2020, 5:55 PM**

Those are nice photos. 😀 I wonder what happened to Melissa?

@phil McAvity great photos!

P.S. I changed my name to my nick name, I never get called Melissa unless it's by my mom!

How's the Corona Virus treating everyone?
