Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, and is a beautiful city, with many of the most popular sites centred around the inner harbour along the waterfront. It's always a busy place, so is one spot there's no avoiding people seeing what we are doing, so if I want to take doll photos there, then I have to seriously do my best to ignore everyone.

Totem Pole on the street corner....
The parliament buildings are across the street from the harbour. There's another huge totem pole, carved by Cicero August of the Cowichan Tribe, and his sons, to commemorate the closing of the XIV Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, and the beginning of Victoria's role as host of the XV Commonwealth Games in 1994. The figures on the pole represent lessons of the past and hope for the future.
